The '''tough customer''' is a character who appears in the episode "[[Salty Sponge]]."

==Description==
[[File:Fnlcyq9aYAAGthP.png|thumb|260px|The tough customer's concept art]]
He is a gigantic octopus with red bloodshot eyes, a sharp beak, and a visible scare on the right side of his face. On his head is a tattered pirate hat and one of his arms has a hook on it.

==Role in series==
The tough customer has made one appearance in the series so far and was firstly designed to be a [[The Salty Spitoon|Salty Spitoon]] patron.

==Roles==
==="Salty Sponge"===
He is a patron at the Salty Spitoon who {{Link|SpongeBob SquarePants}} cooks a brick sandwich for. He quickly devours it and ends up liking it. He makes an appearance earlier in the episode during a panoramic shot of the bar.

==Trivia==
*Unlike most characters in the series, he is animated via the show's closeup paintings and as a result never truly moves from his sitting position.
