We are a V small bookshop and have a man come in at least 3 times every day - stand at the till - you ask him what he wants, and probably about once in a dozen times, he has an enquiry! He is Mr Badger, and that isn't a nickname we have given him!
There is also maggie boots, a lovely woman in her 50s with a huge collection of dr marten boots.
Then there is the incredibly scary man with hair like catweasel who comes in at least once a week and asks if we have any alastair crowley!!!
working at an arm off of Boarders, we have a man come in with his wife, very very old couple... and he stands at he counter stares at our boobs all while his wife ponders around for books gets to the counter, smacks her husband in the side and buys her books. another man who arrives in ever week, must collect playboys because he looks at the cover of all we have in and buys the same one like 3 times because the covers are different and then perceeds to ask us if we would ever want to pose amature for him. by this time we ask him to leave and he leaves but stands in front of the store and waves at us. we just call him stalker number 1.
We too have an old lady like that. And she's really awful to call, because whenever you call her to tell her you have a book she ordered, she has a list of five other (obscure) books for you to look up. I haven't thought of a nickname for her though...
Mata Hari. This old woman stops by our store every Saturday morning. She wears a scarf kerchiefed over her head, a trenhcoat with a flimsy skirt showing underneath, and old strappy sandals that were once silver or gold coloured. A smell like musk and mothballs trails behind her. And her make up is bright blue from the eyelashes thick on up to black penciled eyebrows and her lipstick is bright red like a carton character's, instead of following the lines of her mouth it's red a two bumps up cupid's bow with a small bump of red below, but not as discrete as I make it sound, if most people put on lipstick to follow actual horizontal lines, she applies lipstick to follow nonexistent vertical lines. With circles of rouge on her cheeks, of course
