I’m going to go in a different direction from the other reply thread and say that I don’t give a fuck what the original quote was or the original intent. Just because a saying is famous doesn’t mean the original version of it had all the wisdom, or any at all.
The customer is right in knowing what they want and are willing to spend money on, even if it’s stupid, because ultimately they decide whether or not they will spend that money. That doesn’t mean they are worth dealing with.
Personally, I would rather spend money at a business that “fires” their shitty customers, from line jumpers (was just at an amusement park that actually dealt with two different sets of line jumpers while I was there and it was glorious) to those that harass people that probably agree with them but don’t make the rules.
