Today, the last customer of the night shift handed me their money along with a wad of their hair. FML

Sniff it, hand it back, and say, "More shampoo."

The nutters do tend to come out at night

Do you have any outstanding loans, op? Because I think you Just got an extension.

This was the lady with the cat breath. She was short cash, tried to cough it up, thus the hairball.

Hairs to you and all you do. Strange tip though.

That's kind of weird more than anything...maybe it wasn't their hair after all? Dun dun dunnnnn

#41, probably from the pubic region. Glad I could help.

Shouldn't it be his hair (or her hair)? Their hair refers to multiple customers but by the context it was used, there was only 1 customer. Or should I just stop talking?

If you don't want to specify gender, then "their" is an acceptable substitute, even in the singular sense.
