Personally, I think this is the epitome, if not a major source, of a large amount of the sense of entitlement many Americans seem to possess these days.

No, you are not always right. In fact, you can be entirely wrong in many instances.

Customer complains about kabob order

Also, I would definitely hit it, but that bitch needs to be put in her place.

On a side note, why is the "c-word" being censored on here?



Is this word really that offensive?

Depends...are you the customer? What if the customer says "the customer is always wrong"?

Ask the greatest American of all time: Al Bundy.

The answer is hell no.

It originated with Klan supplies wholesalers, "The customer's always white."

It was the original white privilege.

Negative. If I agreed with everything my client said or gave them everything they requested, we'd both be in a world of shite. My job is to provide an amicable agreement.

According to the proprietor of The Fashionable Male, the customer is always an a-hole.

It is not correct and never has been correct. I'm not sure of the origin, but I can guarantee it was bullshite then too. I'd imagine it was some sort of marketing ploy to make people feel empowered.

If you're in business for yourself, then yes. The customer is always right. Even when they're not. Make sense?

"The customer isn't always right, but the customer is always in charge." I heard it said that way before.

Really good customer service leaves the customer thinking they were right while at the same time doing what is best for the business, its that "win-win" thing.

No way that kitchen staff didn't laugh their asses off for days after that.

My customers are often wrong, and I have no problems letting them know it.

That being said, if they feel wronged, and I feel as though I did nothing to wrong them, I still have to be the one to make some concessions

Nay. It's about 50/50 though.
