Note
A regular plural formed with -s, and it carries every meaning the singular has. Today it usually means people who buy from a business, but the word began with habit: an older, now obsolete use meant regular patrons who had a custom of buying from one shop. In historical writing about India, customers could also be native officials who collected customs duties, a meaning unrelated to shopping.
