Clejerk

Pronunciation: kləjərk

Sentence: Jody did a quick lap around the store to find the few items she needed trailed by the worst clejerk she had ever encountered. His ”May I help you?” came across more as an accusation than an offer of help. With a quick ”No, thank you” to keep him at bay, she grabbed what she needed and headed back to the front of the store only to be accosted in the checklout line. ”Are you sure that’s your size?”

Etymology: clerk (an assistant who sells goods in a retail store) + jerk (a contemptibly obnoxious person)
