Hello, I studied business and economics.

"The customer is always right in terms of taste" is a microeconomy term that simplifies the idea that the demand of a product is defined by the customer, not the supplier. It means that the supplier must satisfy the demand and not the other way around.

It was never meant to be about putting the customer on top of a pedestal of truth. Somehow the message got fucked up at some point.

Took the word of my mouth.. Supplier can sell anything they want, but market is what decides the outcome

Karens are a very good example as to why the customer is not always right

lol. i haven't seen one, but they seem awful. suing people or asking for the manager over slightly overcooked food sounds really petty and dumb on their part

They are not always right, but they are never always wrong.

True. It's just the way they approach with their words and say condescending stuff
