Power Shopper

A person who values their time and hates having to go shopping. "In and out" is the only way they know how to shop, regardless of quantity of items. A power shopper might come across as aggressive and impatient, but they know what they want and where their items are, hence, they see no reason to stroll and dilly-dally and feign that they are thinking of what they want or need to buy.

Power shoppers are known to fill a grocery basket to half-full in under two-minutes. In stores with narrow aisles, they park their cart at the end of the aisle and jog into the aisle, get what they need and toss their items into their baskets from three feet away. They take great pride in always making the basket and never breaking any items.
The man ran his cart into Trader Joe's and began tossing bananas, bags of nuts, loaves of bread and a dozen Clif Bars into his cart. A slow-witted snowbird refused to step aside when he said "excuse me," so he spun around the woman like an NFL tailback, tossed his frozen veggies into his cart and headed back toward the cash register.

A senior citizen commented to her husband, "Did you see how rude that man was?"

The old husband commented, "Nah. He's not rude. He was polite. He said 'Excuse me.' The lady taking up the aisle... who didn't move, SHE was the rude one. I wish I was still young enough to be a 'power shopper,' in my day, I could power shop with the best of 'em.

Secret Shopper

An occupation where an individual goes around making sure customer service is good, and spectacular.

If the customer service is not to their expectations, they will act like a complete and utter douche bag. To the point where you wouldn't want to serve them anyways.
/b/'s job is to be a secret shopper.

You don't want to displease a secret shopper, for they are complete assholes if you do not give them over the counter head service.

deployment shopper

Deployment Shoppers are guardsmen who ask states scheduled to send soldiers into combat to take them, too.

If a guardsman from Virginia is serving in the National Guard, and is not scheduled to get deployed for six years, they can ask, or beg, another state to take them on tour.

It allows for them to do their service young and early.

It also allows for soldiers to make more money than they would by staying at home.
Daryle wanted to serve early, so he offered his services to NJ, and their outfit took him. He was a deployment shopper.

Expensive Shopper Syndrome

An unfortunate condition where a person tends to pick out the most expensive item available. If they are given a choice of ten different items, they could pick an item with their eyes closed and it would still be the most expensive item.
My friend has Expensive Shopper Syndrome. I showed her ten different shirts and she chose the $200 one without even looking!
