I even thought to myself before hand “he’s not east asian I’m not east asian it’s gonna be weird if I do this” but habits die hard even if they’re quickly learned

Here most people don’t bother handing you money, I’ll have my hand outstretched to take it & they just toss it on the counter in my general direction. Every time it feels so disrespectful, like they don’t want to sully themselves by handing me the money directly.
sometimes i put payment on the counter because i dont want to cause an awkward fumble
I understand that, but when I’m already reaching out to take their money & they toss a couple bills on the counter I can’t help but feel like it’s deliberate.
If they’re just tossing it while your hand is outstretched, it’s disrespectful and outright aggressive.
So respond to them in kind: waste their fucking time as much as possible, since you can’t actually throw hands or verbally harass or spit on their face (I’m assuming you’re at work). Drag the interaction out as much as you can, make them feel as uncomfortable and inconvenienced as possible. And at the end when they just leave, passively aggressively, in a kind voice, call them out in ways that aren’t so explicit.
That’s what I do when I can, but since I’m usually already done by the time they pay it has little effect
