I'm honestly surprised I haven't been shot by a customer yet.

I can't tell you how many times a customer has handed me a firearm saying that they unloaded it I want to check it lo and behold around falls out .

And no a sign on the door does not help .

How many mistakes in this scenario?

Several have already been mentioned but one more huge no no on a rimfire is pulling the trigger on an empty chamber (well it was supposed to be empty at least)

This happens more than we sometimes see.

A few years ago a customer walked into Precision with an "unloaded" Ruger LCP and shot though a display case. Wounded another Ruger pistol. Customer had to pay for the glass case and the wounded Ruger.

Here's a video of a cop shooting his finger off in a gun store. (And for the children -- yes, we discuss this in my classes).

This. My favorite was with some college kid and an A400. Brings it in for some feeding problem. I charge it just to be safe and a shell flies out. Handed it back to him and said "nuh uh. Go somewhere else." To this day, I don't know what he said - it was so fast and so slurred. The sheer embarrassment and panic sent his language skills out the window. It's like he was speaking in cursive
