“The customer is always right”

I’ve been thinking about this phrase a lot lately as it keeps showing up here and in the various server subreddits I get recommended. I think I finally figured out why it’s funny to me. Obviously this isn’t some revelation, we all feel this way. Lately, when we hear “the customer is always right” it’s from the customer themself. I’ve always understood that phrase to be a guiding principle on how you treat guests or customers, something we tell ourselves to remind us to try to give good service or support. However when a customer says it it’s just a brat screaming “IM THE WORLD’S MOST SPECIAL BOY!” when told they can’t have their way.
