We have customer logs for certain things, and amongst many, she has written down "skeletor" as the name of a very tall, bald pale man and my personal favourite - "Mummy's Boy" for a guy who is always on the phone to his mum . We've also had "Rosie and Jim", "The Clampetts" and "Worzel Gummidge"
Omg, you work in a bookies too don't you?

We were all told to change all of our descriptors that might have offensive/negative connotations and try to put names where appropriate after one of the customers overheard the fact they were being "monitored" and asked to see the computer screen.
