Then he’d use some oblique word association game to remember his list. If ice cream was on the list, he’d buy cones instead; if coffee filters were listed, he’d buy vacuum filters;jam became ham;grapes became crepes;etc. Domino found James to be an omitsionary when it came to shopping…they certainly had some strange meals. She now thinks this is all a ploy to get him out of doing the grocery shopping…she may be onto something!

Snobligation: /snob lig ay shun/ Bill Nonpayer is every cashier and fast food clerk’s nightmare. He acts as though these people are personally stealing his money instead of receiving payment from him for goods or services. The younger or less experienced the individual is, the more likely he is to complain and embarrass the individual. Bill thinks he is a concientious consumer when he belittles the staff and that it is his snobligation to treat them all badly. But we know what Bill really is, a cowardly bully!

Cussedtomer: /CUS ed tah mur/ Every day on my waitressing shift, I have a lot of good customers, and a few I call cussed-tomers. They are the ones who demand specialization of every food item (extra well-done, no tomatoes, extra onions, & put the sauce on the side) and then are angry that their order takes longer than others. Also, they blame ME when they don’t like how the food has been cooked, or they complain that their sandwich isn’t hot enough. How am I supposed to know that? Should I open the bun and stick my hand in there, or just take a bite? The crowning glory is – you guessed it – they usually are really crappy tippers. Etymology: customer + cussed (CUS ed – adj., antagonistic, belligerent, cantankerous)
