Remember, VPL, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do. People high five for joy, it's something that makes them feel good. If you're concerned about germs being passed from one individual to another, just tell the person wishing to high five you that you prefer not to.

We had clients that would never shake hands....one because of arthritis, others, because they had their reasons. Their wishes were respsected with no hard feelings by people from our office or the individual requesting no hand contact. These were lovely people and enjoyable clients even without the shaking of hands.
