Etymology:<\/em> customer (a person or organization that buys goods or services from a store or business) + moron (a stupid person) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Klutztomer<\/strong>: \/klutz tum urrrr<\/em>\/ trying to keep this particular klutztomer satisfied was like trying to herd cats Etymology:<\/em> customer klutz Created by:<\/em> galwaywegian.<\/p>\n

Retaildundunce<\/strong>: \/re tayl dun duns<\/em>\/ Chad was what we call a retaildundunce. He’d come into the store, approach a clerk who was obviously wearing a uniform, complete with name tag and ask them if they worked here? He did this in every department he went into and yet he never bought anything or asked about our merchandise. It turned out that Chad was a “Mystery Shopper” who was hired by an agency to check on our customer service levels. How did we find out what he did? When our security department apprehended him, under his jacket he wore a uniform complete with name tag that said, “Chad, Mystery Shopper!” DUH! Etymology:<\/em> Retail (the selling of goods to consumers; usually in small quantities and not for resale) & Redundant (repetition of same sense in different words; use of more words than required to express an idea) & Dunce (these words are used to express a low opinion of someone’s intelligence)
