Grocery store, clothing store, make-up store, shoe store, whatever kind of retail you've worked in you know all too well how customers can be... There seems to be a trend in the type of customers everywhere no matter what they are buying, so if you've worked in retail you will definitely these type of customers...

1. The "normal" customer

YES! Everyone's favorite type of customer because all they do is bring their stuff up, smile, ask how you are, pay and leave happily. These are definitely the people that make the day easier... If only they could all be like that.

2. The silent customer

Now, these customers make me nervous. I half feel like maybe I'm talking to quiet, they are just ignoring me, or what if they are deaf and I don't know it? You politely say "Hi. How are you?" And get and awkward, dead silent, not even a glace response ... "OK, thanks have a good day!" Right?

3. The funny customer

The funny customers are almost as much fun as the normal customers. Let's be honest, the jokes can sometimes be corny, really funny, or even a little too much. But, you always laugh because hey, they brighten your day anyway.

4. The grumpy/angry customer

The real question is, are these people EVER in a good mood? They might as well walk around with a rain cloud over their head. Forget asking them how they are because they'll probably reply "I'm alive I guess" or it could be the sunniest, most beautiful day out, but that rain cloud just never leaves them.

5. The complainer

Oh, yes... These people will find ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to complain about. A 1-millimeter dent in a can, a price of something rings up wrong, you're out of something they need. You name it and it automatically becomes your fault, and you need to fix it, or they won't shop at YOUR store again... Yes, because I deliberately dent all the cans in the store, type in all prices wrong, and buy everything so it's out of stock, just for you. Realistic, right?

6. The customer who thinks they are funny

So say you walk away from your register for .5 seconds to put something away, clean something, you know the drill, and you see a customer come up so you hurry back, but it's too late because they already have started to say the good old "Oh, nobody was home I thought everything was free today!" Really, just, really.

7. The 24/7 customers

The funny things with these people is that you eventually learn their name, job, kids names, kids jobs, personal issues, and even their dogs names. At least once a day they come to buy something, and if they don't come that day, it just doesn't feel complete.

8. The awkward customer

I half feel bad and half am usually confused by these customers because they always are fumbling with their money, dropping things, making straight direct eye contact with you, only looking at their purchases, or even forgetting their bags of groceries or clothes. The whole time from start to finish is just plain awkwardddddd.
