I remember the MC for met customer. MCM for met man or MCW for met woman.
For 1 customer I used MCD. Nobody said a word for months. One day a sup comes up
and says, "What is MCD?" I said met customer dog. Had a nice lady who used to get
a lot of stuff from Spiegels and LL Bean in those plastic bags. She used to send her Lab out
to the truck when I pulled in. Dog would carry the bag into the house. She would always wave
from the kitchen window.
