I think this says it all….

cus·tom·er  
/ˈkəstəmər/
Noun
        • A person or organization that buys goods or services from a store or 
other business.
        • A person or thing of a specified kind that one has to deal with: "a 
tough customer".
Synonyms
client - purchaser - buyer - shopper - patron - vendee


Personally, I think of myself as a "member" who has a membership in a club of 
"like" members, all for the good of what the club represents.  Customer of the 
PC?  Not.  However, I am not a "member" of the AKC, as I have never joined the 
AKC.  I do purchase registrations, etc.  So I guess I could be considered a 
"customer" of the AKC.
