The customer is always right… in matters of taste #retail #hospitality #business

"Ignorance is bliss"... "Where Ignorance is bliss, tis folly to be wise"

Reminds me of the full quote "great minds think alike, though fools seldom differ" So instead of just hey we're awesome it's we're either awesome or both idiots

Also, there's a French expression "le client est le roi", "the customer is king", but when you recall what they did to their kings it kind of puts things in perspective. 😂

Even Murphy's law has fallen victim to this. "If you prepare as if everything that could go wrong will, you'll be in the best spot to mitigate any problems" was his actual motto.

That's similar to " Jack of all trades ", which actually is, a jack of al trades is a master of none, but more often better than a master of one.

This comment section is like a catalog filled with director's cut of known quotes. Thank you so much for uploading this.

My first management position I got told, “The customer is always right, unless they’re stupid or unreasonable. Then ask them to leave” this was at a dominos, and I’ve taken that to every job since.

I've always liked, "The customer is always right, unless they're wrong."

“We shall never deny a guest even the most ridiculous request” - Eugene Krabs

”Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” is an other great example. It kinda gets a different meaning after cutting of the ”that mediocrity can pay to greatness” part.

Plot twist: Guy in the hi-vis was actually a customer and there was no need to check the quote, because the customer is always right.

PSA: Most if not all of the “complete quotes” you’ll see in the comments of this video are not the original quotes that have been “cut down” but rather are additions made in response to quotes. They often do carry better messages and are more applicable to modern life and sensibilities, so it’s perfectly acceptable to use them instead of the originals, but don’t go around telling people they’re the “full, original quotes,” because they aren’t.

My favourite one is "Great minds think alike," "But fools seldom differ"

Thats like when my wife says "i love you" The full quote is "i love you, but ive been having an affair with my tennis instructor for the last 9 years. Im surprised you never noticed i dont even own a tennis racket"

Never heard the the whole phrase until today, but I learned about this from my grandmother that use to own an antique store. She would be like they welcome to buy whatever they want, but they are not always right. Because I couldnt' tell you how many times someone would come in and try to scam her or barter her down. My grandmother would pull out books show them what it was, how much it was worth, and then explain more if needed why they were wrong. Some would get pissy and leave, and the she would turn around and sell the item so someone else, might even take some off the price if she were still making a profit, and no problems. She'd wrap it, box it up if needed or wanted and the customer left happy. Many of those same customers would return.

The customer is always right; logically, this means they're not a customer if they're wrong.

I've said this to every district manager I've ever had. They're never impressed.

“Curiosity killed the cat/ but the satisfaction brought it back.” Completely changes the meaning

“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.”

"The customer is always right, because i can charge them double when i have to fix it." is the proper version of the quote.
