Where waiters are treated like slaves and customers like gods
Where the wishes of the customers are fulfilled with a head nod
People look to gain respect from the price of their plates
Hungry customers that complain and too impatient to wait
Some order expensive dishes to impress and that's the norm
It becomes expensive celebrating the day they were born
It gets complicated with taste buds having a split decision
And the deceptive prices on the menu go unmentioned
Many work hard and eat fancy as a personal treat
Where the single hang out hoping for someone to meet
You would hear nasty gossip or a married couple having issues
Or statements made about a thankless customer who was rude
It's amazing how much people would pay for good service
But returning an order to the cook makes me nervous
Saying the customer is always right is a terrible view
Have you ever wondered what your waiter thought of you
What’s the kindest thing you can say,
about someone who’s not really nice
Compliment them in an obtuse fashion,
blunt talk wouldn’t be the right approach
Sometimes it’s hard to find
pleasant words
to describe somebody’s foul disposition
Oh, they just got up on the wrong side of the bed
Euphemistically speaking
that phrase was rather well said
Trying not to insult a person’s intellect,
can leave you groping for tasteful words
Sensitivity speaks with a thousand nuances,
each shade made for honesty to be received
He’s a couple cards short of a full deck
Euphemistically speaking,
your verbiage was rather circumspect
Turning vinegar piss into honey-flavored cider,
it takes master linguistic skill ...
even still, it may not always be effective
Some people won’t take criticism,
though given in the most respectful way
Euphemisms are politely stated aphorisms
The customer is always right
Euphemistically speaking,
it was expressed with rather delicate insight
Even when someone is wrong as two left shoes,
wrong as laughing lustily at bad news
Euphemistically speaking,
that’s what a mentally challenged person is prone to do
“The customer is always right”
Is what they used to say
Way back when problems got resolved
Much better than today.
Yet there are certain companies
That still believe it’s true
And they will work until
You’re satisfied with what they do.
To prove the point, I had today
An online service “chat”
And to that representative,
I’d like to tip my hat.
She tried a lot of different things
So I would be content.
Our little “chat” was worth the time
And money that was spent.
Though satisfaction lately’s
Oft in very short supply,
I’d recommend the service reps
Who work for Shutterfly.
Way back then
The customer
Was always right
Today
The customer
Is not always right
Is it really true?
The customer
Is always right
The customer
May believe
They’re always right
But in reality
Is usually wrong
Company guidelines
Unknown
Are designed
To benefit the customer
At times
Benefit the company
The customer
That’s always right
Tend to lose discounts
That benefit
At a company lost
Companies choose
To let a customer be right
Because a customer
Is always a customer
But not always right
