Warning: That baker who kept handling cash then dough gave me a lesson I can't forget

Last month at a farmer's market in Austin, a guy grabbed a $20 bill with flour-covered hands, then went straight back to kneading his sourdough. I watched him do it three times in ten minutes, and I still think about that when I see people skipping glove changes between the register and the bench. Has anyone else had to tell a coworker to break this habit?

Yeah but cash and dough have coexisted in bakeries forever.

I read somewhere that "bread" is actually the oldest slang for money in English, way older than "dough" or "cash" even. So I guess bakeries have been tied to currency talk for centuries.
