Stopped at Target to look for some shoes.

      Fun fact, that’s not even what “the customer is always right” is supposed to mean, although it’s how it’s used most I guess.

      It was coined in relation to what shops should or should not stock - if customers wanted to buy something, then the shop should stock it, regardless of what they thought of the product.

      It’s not meant to mean everything the customer says is correct.

        That is still a stupid way of looking at that sentence.

        Shops should stock whatever they want.

        Just because shoes are suddenly all the rage doesn’t mean they should stock shoes at coffee shops.
