Nicknames

Missing some of my customers today made me realize that some of our customers now have nicknames. First, there is Mrs. Doubtfire, who bears a strange resemblance to Robin Williams in a dress. Then there is Mr. B, the first initial of his last name which I can never pronounce or remember. Then there is the Spoon Lady, so named because when her children were younger, she used to chase them around the store swatting them with a wooden spoon (which did no good). And then we also have the Lady-who's daughter the sink fell on-lady. We have several "We can do nothing right, who's going to talk to her on the phone this time" ladies.

I remember working in the Photo Lab, we had a few nicknames for customers as well :)

It's funny what we remember about people when we work with the public.

LOL!! We give "titles" ... BAD!! Well, at our old house we did.

We had "The coaches"...the married couple worked at a catholic school as coaches.

We had "The Bumpuses"...our neighbors with the messiest yard and craziest attitudes.

We had "the lesbians"...we were right on target once they flew their rainbow flag.
