WTF is with people folding bills in half the long way (like a hotdog bun)?
It makes no sence. Whenever people do that to me i makre sure to look anoyed and stand there and flatten it back out on the side of the counter.

I don't mind when they do it length-wise so long as it's not folded along with that. In fact, sometimes people give me bills that are so crappy, i give them a crease length-wise so they stay in the register if I'm ever on it. I'd much rather it fold up that way then stick up out of the cash register.

Just my 02 cents.

I don't have a problem with it as long as there is no creaseing involved.

Having people give you wet money(worked near the shore) is worse.

Because it keeps the bill stiff, and it's easier to hand over a stiff bill than a floppy limp bill.

:p

Even worse is having guys wearing basketball shorts give you money.... that they've been carrying by their crotch because basketball shorts don't have pockets. Wet money will dry, but the thought of touching money that was rubbing against some guy's gear isn't good, especially if they are using it at a restaurant or something.

I like people who fold bills a lot more than the asshats that crumple all the bills so they don't fit well into the cash drawer.
