The best alternative is to simply state up front
why a particular job requires plenum cable.  If
he balks, walk away.  You don't need that
headache.

Besides having to deal with an angry customer
later, by installing the wrong cable you'll make
the inspector think you're dumb.  In future every
time you call that AHJ for an inspection you're
going to get the "fine toothed comb" treatment.
