First, they became called what their drink was ie double tall latte guy with the 'fro. These names quickly changed to match their personality. One of my favorites was a real loiterer who had no job, yet claimed to be an expert in every field imaginable. He was a scarf wearer and also once claimed to be a professor at one time, after which he was known as Prof. BullShit behind his back, and PBS when he was around. I don't think he ever caught on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6547384531221823188.post-4609214247350315472008-08-20T10:31:00.000-04:002008-08-20T10:31:00.000-04:00Once upon a time I worked at a all night gas stati...Once upon a time I worked at a all night gas station, and every morning around 6 an elderly man would come in and buy a cup of coffee and talk about his family, cars he had in his youth, and other gems, until I got off at 7.<BR/>I wonder what became of him..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6547384531221823188.post-1788421816290467862008-08-19T08:26:00.000-04:002008-08-19T08:26:00.000-04:00I actually never really worked in food or retail. ...I actually never really worked in food or retail.

The thing is she only comes in at the most inconvenient times (when we're busy, when our higher ups are around). This creates problems when she piles the shit she's going to buy at our registers.<BR/><BR/>Toy Lady is a really creepy lady who asks all our employees if we play with dolls, toys, etc. When we say no she'll go on about how we're all grown up and are too old for playing with toys. I have this conversation with her at least once every two weeks. The tone she takes with us is REAL creepy, and sometimes she talks to customers' KIDS. Creeeeeepy.<BR/><BR/>There are 24308243 others but I'm tired.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6547384531221823188.post-86052544132703193632008-08-18T16:57:00.000-04:002008-08-18T16:57:00.000-04:00I love the drawing!

I haven't worked in the service field in a while but back in the day when I was a waiter I had a guy that came in every Sunday who would order dry white toast and a cup of coffee and sit there for hours and read the paper. I don't remember if he had a nickname or not everyone used to fight over who had to serve him because he was an ass and didn't tip for squat!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
