I guess I meant #4. To get out of the way quickly, (as a scheduler) when you see this shopper, coming after you for his/her money and you quickly decide you need to go the opposite direction when he/she asks for a shop.
Or should I have said "blackballed" the shopper?
This one fits better:
Blackballed

1.
to vote against (a candidate, applicant, etc.).
2.
to exclude socially; ostracize:
"The whole town blackballed them."
3.
to reject (a candidate) by placing a blackball in the ballot box.
