What's your "I hate them, but they like me" story?

There is a literal clan of gypsies that come to my little convenience store multiple times daily because im the only person in town who hasnt told them to fuck off.

They are in general just plain rude and inconsiderate, the kids up to age 19 all leave their trash everywhere and ask annoying questions theyve asked multiple times for a year just because they can or they are mentally defunct, i dont care which. They backtalk the parents who in turn cuss out the child, they get uppity when were out of their smokes, complain if the coffees isnt boiling, generally dont know how to operate the pumps and spend roughly an hour outside just smoking and talking loudly.

However they own one of the most popular used car lots in the county and some over and many people know them through business dealings so they dont actually scare off customers. Because of this and how many times they come through ive taken to just not caring about their bullshit. They easily spend 5k a month at my store, and have at times tipped me with 100 dollar bills and homemade meals of all kinds, free smokes too, all my coworkers hate them and have let them know in not so many words, all the other places dont put up with them and theyve told me so, i cant fucking stand them as people but they aint too bad for the business, my wallet and my stomach.
