Any workplace with regular customers leads to nicknames for the regulars. My workplace is a little above and beyond, over the top, and off the blinking hook. Are some of these nicknames mean? Perhaps. But they are useful for code identification so the employees can communicate information about people back and forth.
* Indicates that the nickname was christened by yours truly!
