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! Etymology: Snob (a person regarded as arrogant and annoying) & Obligation (a personal relation in which one is indebted for a service or favor;the state of being obligated to do or pay something)

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)

Customonster: /kÉ™stÉ™mänstÉ™r/ Harold gets no respect at work. He gets no respect from his wife or daughters. Even his mom and dad refer to him as â€Big Dumbyâ€. When he goes shopping he becomes a customonster, pounding his fist on the counter and yelling at the poor clerks if they dare cross him in even the slightest way, that is if he is shopping alone. If with his wife and kids, he sits quietly in the designated husband chair and holds his wife’s purse. Etymology: customer (a person or organization that buys goods or services from a store or business) + monster (an imaginary creature that is typically large, ugly, and frightening) Created by: artr.
Servisnide: /serv-iss-snide/ His servisnide began to take an inappropriate and bizarre turn when the clerk asked if he needed any plastic bags – he then grabbed the bag out of her hand and placed it over his head and yelled, “If you ask me one more question I will suffocate myself!” Etymology: service + snide Created by: remistram.
