I work in retail. If you are a regular at a small shop I can promise you, we have a nickname for you that we use between ourselves to identify who you are. Shoutouts to Chicken Thief, Donut Guy and The Monster Couple

Myself and colleague walking into our usual cafe in London later than our normal lunchtime one day. Place was almost empty, and I overheard the waitress in the back calling to the kitchen "Oi, look out, here comes Cold Drink and a Cup of Tea!" 🤣🤣🤣
Can confirm. Once overheard myself being referred to as "African Espresso Guy". Reader, I have no African heritage although I do favour their coffee beans.
I used to work in Tech Support. I can confirm the same.
Many names lost to Time now but as a random example I remember Mr Mumble. You got about one clearly comprehensible word in six. "Mmm ambmb computer uh nmumum mouse ahom merom green." So your mouse is broken? "Ommononmmllrr."
In the 80’s I worked in a branch of WHSmith. Every Saturday an old lady came in. The book dept would get a chair and let her sit there for however long she wanted. She never bought anything, but she would read a book and talk to the staff about it. She was our very own book reviewer. Happy days.
When I worked in retail we had 'lift pisser' because she would always piss in the lift, there were toilets next to the lift, but no, she would piss in the lift!
We used to serve A1 all the time at the cinema I used to work at. He was always running late and had to hold his jeans by the waist to stop them from falling down.
