When I was in Japan, I would always put the money in the tray, but the cashier would always return directly to my hand. I didn't understand why.

When this has happened to me ( rarely ) I sometimes recall feeling a slight tickle. Such as a palm reader might use to promote trade.

I've found the cashiers will often stroke the bottom of your hand when placing change directly in your palm. Feels very reassuring.
