Could be cultural. If I remember correctly, it's courteous to put money on the counter (or in trays) in Japan. Handling money hand-to-hand is considered unhealthy/inappropriate.
In your case, however, could be an arl arse clerk.

Someone tried to break in and burgle my wife's grandmothers house, but she scared him off when she heard the noise. When filling out the police report, the officer asked her if she saw the person and was he black. She thought carefully for a moment before responding, "Well, I guess he didn't have to be black."
Saw a classic of this a few years back in a Booths supermarket in the Lakes ( Cumbrian version of Waitrose - posh ).
A posh lady pulled the lad who was on the till about putting the money on the counter and not in her hand. The lad looked at her and said words to the effect of " people like you are why I hate this job and why I have just quit ". Picked the money up, lashed it at her and then calmly walked out from behind the till and out of the store .

Reminds me of the trend a few years ago of bar staff giving you your change on a little silver dish, in the hope you'd be too ashamed to take the change, letting them keep it as tips.
Nothing gave me more pleasure than opening my wallet and pouring the coins off the dish straight into the coin pouch with an exaggerated flourish.
Girl I sit next to has been away from her desk for most of the afternoon. As soon as I break out a particularly smelly fart she returns.
Nice.
Nice.

Wait, so you're not even a Jap? Why were you offended then?

I was not offended, just shocked and amused. But the thing with the use of the term "Jap" is that most people will refer to anyone that is Asian as such. I've also been referred to as Vietcong when some drunk guy at a bar told me his dad spent a lot of his time fighting "my people." It's odd.

I have this happen with iMessages more often than texts. My internet at home will randomly cut out. So then I have to tell the kid in the basement to pedal faster.
Same holds true in Germany. Must be an Axis power thing

Getting in to work at 6.30am so I can have a little bit of time to relax and have a cup of coffee and every morning the same ball bag sits in my office and talks utter guff at me for about half an hour, and won't take anything for a hint.
