Question

If the cashier tries to put money in your hand and she is a female must you tell her not to?

Answer

Answered by Aaron Abadi

No. Only social touchings, like handshakes or a kiss hello are prohibited. Not a cashier giving change, and not helping an older woman down the stairs. These would be OK. AA
