Missing a finger? No problem!

So, working at the DG I've had my fair share of people with hand deformities, it's cool. One guy has what I call a "claw" because it's just like, his pinky and half his thumb. I'm afraid to ask how that happened but he's a nice guy and his brother goes to my church and we all get along. It doesn't gross me out too bad I guess is what I'm trying to say.

There are those who have hand deformities that I'm not so comfortable with. Especially when they hand me money with the hand missing like 3 fingers. Why would you do that? It's creepy. Do you make a concious decision to use that particular hand to do your bidding? I know that I can't "catch" a missing finger but still, I don't want to touch it. Which brings me to a hilarious story about a boy and his finger...

Ok it was a man and his freaky deformed out the BUTT finger! So, this dude comes into my line and starts arguing with me about the price of something even though it is CLEARLY priced right on the product. He admits defeat, and I am victorious! Or so I thought. He hands me the money and when I grab it from his hand I realize that his index finger is, how should I say, a little abnormal. It looked like an eckrich sausage all curved up over the other fingers! I'm not even joking. It was about the same width of one too! He had won the battle. Though I was right of the price, he won because he chose to use his sausage-like digit to hand me money. Either way, I recoiled in disgust for a split second and continued on my cashier-ly duties.

Questions: Do you think people like that do it on purpose? Would you do it on purpose to people who've pissed you off? Would you do it just get a laugh at their reactions?

Answer: I do, I would and I would.
