I think we have seen other customers before, because we've seen Olive serving random people.
I'm saying *before* we found that out, and that sisters-of-Chuck!dad was a sham all along, made up when Chuck!dad died and the "aunts" swooped in.
Maybe Lily, the fiance, and Chuck's official mother were all pretending to apprentice at a cheese shop in Europe together, and the official mother is the missing third sister? And the missing third sister... really did die in not-Europe?
Also: you know, I think there's an argument to be made for 'less clothes.' If we can accept 'clothespin' as a reasonable noun-adjunct/noun compound word, then we're implicitly accepting 'clothes' as a collective noun, so we can treat it as innumerable for grammatical purposes. It's still not ideal, though.
