Description:

Meet Bob… he is a hard working card shop owner. Unfortunately for Bob, he has a very hard time dealing with people. Day in and day out he is surrounded by enthusiastic customers, and it drives him up the wall. He would like nothing more than to sit in his shop alone with his amassed collection of trading cards. Bob looks to combat expending his limited social stamina by serving his customers from a distance before they engage in conversation. These customers come in a limited variety such as:

Dweebs

- A constant onslaught of wedgie wearin', thick frame glasses havin', two steps before needing a hit of asthma inhaler pre-teens. Your most frequent and loyal customers. Possibly the next generation of card shop owners. Most definitely loud and obnoxious.

Fedoras

- A customer so cringe they don’t register on the visible scale, as Bob can only see their bright fedoras float towards him from a distance. Bob puts up many display cases as a interaction barrier, and they somehow manage to phase right through them. Bob tries his best to not acknowledge their existence.

Karens

- Wholesome mothers just looking to get their special little boy (probably a dweeb) that last minute birthday present at breakneck speed. Be quick on your feet, as if their needs aren’t met in a timely manner, they will be shou... "speaking" with you.

Neckbeards

- A meandering bunch, very particular with their product selection. However if you get them started, they will quickly grind down your abilities to communicate with other humans, and hear your own thoughts.

Luckily Bob runs a card shop and has unlimited stock around him. However he can only carry so much inventory at once. On top of this he has a personal rule, to only keep what he can afford to lose in his pockets, out of fear of bending his merchandise.
