Back when I was writing service at the car dealer...

Me (holding clipboard and pen): "Hi! welcome to Fuzz Nutz Ford. What can I help you with?"

Customer: (pointing his finger an inch or so from my face) "I know you're all a bunch of fucking thieves....that shit isn't going to work with me!"

Nice to set those expectations right up front.
