Cashier in Jewish store

Question:

I work as a cashier i am a woman and work in an area which has a large Jewish community how do I treat my Jewish customers while respecting their religion such as handling change over.

Answer:

Hello,

This is very kind and considerate of you, to be sensitive to the religious needs, and sensitivities of the customers to the store you work in.

The first suggestion, I can give you is to dress modestly, as this will make the religious male customers uncomfortable. Another suggestion would be that when it is holiday time, tell them to have a happy holiday, or towards the end of the week tell them to have a good Shabbos. They will appreciate that.

Regarding handing them change, if the customer is a hasidic looking male, just place the change and the receipt in the counter, and they will take it.

Thank you very much for your consideration
