      Right up there with pulling oneself up by their bootstraps, which was coined to make fun of rich fucks thinking this was somehow possible.

        Adding on “The customer is always right”.

        People often forget the next few words which are “in matters of taste”.

        In which case, yes, absolutely. If a paying customer wants a well done steak with ketchup, sure. Or if they want some ugly clothing. Hell yeah, as long as they’re paying.

        It’s not an excuse to act like an entitled asshole.
