OK not really an AIBU but I thought it would be fun, since MN is such a stickler for correct behaviour etc, for everyone to think about their jobs and say who their favourite clients/customers are. In other words, what behaviour from your clients makes it easiest to do your job?
If your job is quite unusual (mine is) and so identifying, pick an older job you had. Ditto if you currently don't work.
OK!
When I worked at supermarket checkout:
Customers who didnt watch the price screen with an eagle eye, waiting to pounce on you ("Ummm, excuse me, you just put that lemon through as a lime.") Let it go lady, it actually resulted in a discount for you.
Customers who swiftly packed their stuff, but not the ones like my Mum, who are so efficient they are standing there with an outstretched claw waiting for you to scan shit, so you start feeling really under pressure.
Customers who wait patiently when your till fucks up rather than sighing and gazing around irritatedly muttering "oh for crying out loud".
Efficient customers who say "its 2 croissants, 3 soft rolls and 1 almond and pecan twist" rather than just letting you try and decode their pastry hoard. Same with multiple items.
