Tough Customers

We're not bullies. We're kids who have a hard time expressing our emotions in a constructive manner. The Tough Customers are a gang of bullies at Lakewood Elementary School, led by Binky Barnes.

History
In "Arthur's Big Hit," Binky decides to get rid of the club, but in later episodes the club is still there, most likely because of how poorly Binky planned a new, non-violent club. They hang out on the jungle gym (aka: The Tower of Pain), and also have an entire lunch table reserved for themselves. Some of the members are named after baby stuff and children's toys. Despite their tough image, many of them are good at ballet, as seen in "Revenge of the Chip." The Tough Customers "rebranded" during the episode "The Last Tough Customer."
