I once applied for a job at a local blockbuster before they went out of business and got a meeting with the manager. We spoke for about 15 minutes out on the floor and thought we had good rapport. At the end of the "interview", I reached out my right hand to shake and was greeted with an awkward stare followed by a fist bump with a hand that had no fingers on it. I felt bad putting him in this position. He couldn't just come out and say, "I have no hand." My question is, did I act inappropriately and how could this situation be handled differently?
edit: If I recall correctly, he was missing the entire wrist-fingers combo. It was basically a wrist bump.
