The customer can be right until they snap and/or start raising their voice then they have 30 seconds to calm down until they run out of grace to be right. After that, it’s time for them to go. 🙂

I love that you defined customer as someone who supports the business. This is where, in my experience, too many companies get it wrong. They have a “The customer is always right” attitude, which I suppose is fair…IF they are an actual customer. IF their patronage ends up benefiting the business. Too many “customers” use businesses to get free stuff they don’t deserve if they shout about it enough or berate people. Or get their way on something that the really shouldn’t. And many companies bend over for those people, and force their employees to, when they aren’t, in fact, customers.

I’m so glad someone caught that! I hadn’t even considered the comparison to the customer is always right, I actually had a mind blown epiphany moment when comparing the two. 🙂

It means it’s Friday, I got a hot date tonight and if I take one more stupid phone call from someone that watches way to much HGTV I’m going to snap….thus endeth the rant. Customer service is biting your tongue in half and not calling a douche a douche when they are obviously wrong LOL.
