Alt text: a text post that reads: Work in retail long enough, and you'll eventually realize the rules for dealing with Customers are exactly the same as dealing with the Fae:

Avoid eye contact.
Never reveal your full name.
Accept nothing They offer you.
Never verbally agree or disagree with anything They might happen to say.
To apologize is to acknowledge a debt owed.
Under no circumstances are you ever to thank Them.
Remember that They are incapable of reading signs in human languages.

Time flows strangely around them: You'll get trapped in a conversation for 30 minutes, but when you look at the clock only 5 minutes have passed.
You could swear they only arrived 2 minutes ago, but they have been "waiting for an hour!"
Do not shake their hand lest they trap you in their embrace. (From experience)
In order to banish them you must deny them 3 times (at least)
They have an obsession with the power of names. "Do you know who I am?" Or "I know (owner's name)" will be used as if the words have power on their own.
