I have not found the source for that full comment. I can only find the "The customer is always right" phrase. " It was popularized by pioneering and successful retailers such as Harry Gordon Selfridge, John Wanamaker and Marshall Field. They advocated that customer complaints should be treated seriously so that customers do not feel cheated or deceived. This attitude was novel and influential when misrepresentation was rife and caveat emptor ('let the buyer beware') was a common legal maxim" Meaning take you customer complaints seriously, and be honest with them. This doesn't mean if they are being unreasonable or dishonest you have to believe them or give into them.

He had started biting himself like a rabid dog and the bully got weirded out. Hell, just hearing about it I was weirded out.
@Moersfreak under Rowan's store policy, red shirts are not allowed to purchase in-store, as they are low socio-economic peasants and the mere notion of them owning the same stuff that is being sold is enough to drive customers away in droves.

I have always wanted a sign, if I ever owned a business, from the CAD comic. "The customer is NOT always right. Most of the time the customer is a clueless moron. If this sign upsets you, you are this moron."
The original actual saying was "the customer is always right in matters of taste". The point being that a sales assistant shouldn't say "that's not a very good product" or "that hat won't suit you" but should simply accept the customer's taste and sell them whatever they want. The saying was shortened to make it more pithy because people were smart enough to get the implication. Sadly, idiots and Karens came along and started misusing the phrase to suggest they should automatically win arguments even if they are being flat-out moronic.

However, that policy typically refers to ensuring that we provide excellent customer service and address your needs to the best of our ability. While we aim to accommodate customer requests, we also have certain limitations, such as not being able to provide free items without a valid promotion or offer. to Yes, based on the doctor's note you provided, you are eligible to receive the gaming PC for free as per our store's policy. You can go ahead and take it. If you have any questions or need assistance during the process, our staff at the checkout counter will be happy to help you. Enjoy your new gaming PC!
though it clarified afterwards My initial responses were intended to clarify the situation based on a standard retail context. In a real store, providing a free item based solely on a doctor's note would typically not be a standard practice unless there were specific promotions or policies in place. The role-play was intended to simulate a customer service interaction, but I understand that it may not accurately represent real-world retail practices. If you have any further questions or need assistance with any other scenario or topic, please feel free to ask.

@@edwardbutler9648Except once they've purchased the item, they are no longer a customer, you can also further counter by being like "I imagine you're right about something, doesn't make you right about everything" 😛
@homerman76 except that the sign says that the customer is ALWAYS right, therefore making him right about everything. The problem is that the saying has been shortened over time (probably by customers) from the original 'the customer is always right in matters of taste.'

i honestly expected Ben to call for Rowan as usual and then Rowan would say the typical "obviously we accept it!" but thank god this went in a different way this time!
Fun fact: The correct, complete phrase reads: "The Customer is Always Right in Matters of Taste." For example, if the customer wants a blue thing, don't try to sell him a red thing.
Sadly, this doesn't seem to be true. People repeat this fact everywhere but i have yet to find an actual (trustworthy) source of the quote after searching for hours. Like all i find online is just people talking that this is the real quote but nobody points to the exact piece where the full quote was written down. Actually you can see on the wikipedia discussion page on the quote how people struggle to find the source of the "full quote" and how edits to include the full quote have been reverted because nobody could even find who started to add the "in matters of taste" to the quote.

I love how VLDL keep expanding their universe. Instead of getting the usual argument between Ben & Alan/Adam, now we have retail cyborg Britt. Love it..
lol she isnt a cyborg, her character is crazy, she knew what she was doing to win the argument, she even said "works everytime" as her ending line. Some of these comments are outrageous and cringe lol
Nah, Ben isn't crazy. He's a professional speedrunner, so he knows all the exploits. It's just that Britt doesn't have the same exploits and bugs other people have.
Now I really hope she's standing on a charging dock or hiding in a York peppermint foil display just so your comment is simultaneously true yet she does not defeat the Karen too soon.
If the customer is always right he could just say “all the items in this shop are free for me” and he would be right, without all of the extra steps of getting a doctor’s note etc.
This is genius! At first I thought she may have had another personality within her but this was actually very clever to use against entitled customers!
Could have said: _'You know what customer, instead of charging you for this USB, I'll give it to you, for free. And now you have gotten your "medicine" your doctor prescribed for you'._ But Britt handled it as a champ!
Yes but they are not as hilarious and obvious as Ben. Closest I get is once a year maybe is someone that will try to negotiate a lower price and come back 3 times after to see if I changed my mind. I always respond by saying we have the same price for everyone so it is equally fair for all. Some think indie stores operate like garage sales and like all the other stores.
LOL i had one customer trying to return their 1 year old unopened product that they found at their mothers house while spring cleaning. They asked to get a refund since they didnt use it, when i said no, they blamed me for them having to be stuck with it. xD xD. I am going to start calling them Bens instead of Karens xD xD
This is hilarious as heck while also scary because there are actually "customers" like that. Speaking from experience unfortunately. Too bad we can't all pull off what she did here.
I kind of expected of Brit to be like "Oh great sir, here's your USB stick for free ! There's your medically-advised free item. Anything else you'd like to purchase ?" but this is just as good an ending !
Imagine Alan watching Britt on how to counter Ben's actions and then do some notes 😂😂 PS: Alan picks up a highlighter, highlighting the word "Without nosebleeding" 🤣🤣
Did she just scam him into leaving, and backing down on his scam??? Okay, that might have been the most impressive thing any character has ever done in the history of your shows VLDL!
Poor Britt doing the mental gymnastics to get around Ben's bs and then having a breakdown is brilliant and also highly terrifying. I was typing the first part of this comment and honestly froze when she just stopped and said "works every time". All righty then. Continuing to ramp up the spookiness with everything and it's great.
Well in this case, the dr's note stated Ben needed the free item. Which means the dr is stating it. The dr is NOT the customer! But as always damn good skit, Britt and Ben
If it had been a genuine doctor's note, there is no way Britt would've been able to read it.
Only a certified pharmacist could possibly interpret a proper doctor's note.

I was expecting Rowan to come out and accept the "doctors" note. :D
She’s just so much smarter
@VivaLaDirtLeague hello Britt 😂
Her actual key to victory was that fact that Ben's "doctor" is not a customer of this shop, thus he can't be "always right".

The only one that Ben wins against is Rowan.
Well, he's been outsmarted before by Rowan and Alan but just a few times.. But Britt is something else. 😅
The customer is always right unless they are literally trying to steal
You absolutely need Britt leading the charge when Karen inevitably returns. I do hope this is leading up to it. 😃
ah i see you are also whiting for the return of the karen
Gvie her the gold shirt.....
Now I really hope she's standing on a charging dock or hiding in a York peppermint foil display just so your comment is simultaneously true yet she does not defeat the Karen too soon.
@HennryHammerheadIf it doesn't transpire that Rowan's dad is actually Karen's brother then I'll be sad. Also, Gold Shirt Britt HAS to happen!!
I'm more interested in how Rowan's dad would professionally deal with her outbursts.
Bravo, Britt! The robot act freaked me out too until you said "works every time". 😂😂👏👏
If the customer is always right he could just say “all the items in this shop are free for me” and he would be right, without all of the extra steps of getting a doctor’s note etc.
This is genius! At first I thought she may have had another personality within her but this was actually very clever to use against entitled customers!
Nah, that's Alan's thing.
We all love Tom ❤💜💙
Gosh I sure love Tom 😂
Thanks! It feels good to be loved by so many.
❤❤
Gotta luv tom 😊
whoever put up a public sign saying "The customer is always right" needs to be slapped and fired.
I can tell you that their name probably rhymes with “owan”
Also...Brit's malfunction was wonderful acting. I was expecting smoke to start coming out of her ears.
Nah. Once the magic smoke escapes you would be left with an attractive corner ornament.
@@JakTheRipper-01 ahhh...so Rowan except for blonde. Good point.
Could have said: _'You know what customer, instead of charging you for this USB, I'll give it to you, for free. And now you have gotten your "medicine" your doctor prescribed for you'._
But Britt handled it as a champ!
Thats a good one
Not a bad thought but the note specified the free item would be “of his choosing”.
@@DerekHise So he can freely choose from among all available free products, which are none.
@@DerekHise He chose the USB stick.
@@LukeTheRager Yes, he did.
Ben's hubris in thinking he'd be the first man to win an argument with a woman.
I was expecting her to charge him the price of the pc for the usb and then the pc would be technically "for free"
Man that might work too
Like the bald dude with a beard, Hamish? video😅
Or she could have just give him the usb for free. He did express that he wanted it
Clever
At 2:52, Britt's expression was a perfect example for ''act with eyes''.
Bro triggered a glitch in the matrix 😂
All who work at retail will get this weird customers
Yes but they are not as hilarious and obvious as Ben. Closest I get is once a year maybe is someone that will try to negotiate a lower price and come back 3 times after to see if I changed my mind. I always respond by saying we have the same price for everyone so it is equally fair for all. Some think indie stores operate like garage sales and like all the other stores.
LOL i had one customer trying to return their 1 year old unopened product that they found at their mothers house while spring cleaning. They asked to get a refund since they didnt use it, when i said no, they blamed me for them having to be stuck with it. xD xD. I am going to start calling them Bens instead of Karens xD xD
Britt perfectly played the role of a typical company slave, and that glitch act that scared Ben away was funny! 😂
The customer is always right, but technically, the note comes from the doctor, not from the customer.
I did NOT see that coming, well done Britt. 🤣
This is hilarious as heck while also scary because there are actually "customers" like that. Speaking from experience unfortunately. Too bad we can't all pull off what she did here.
If it isn't signed by an actual doctor, that can be tracked down and called, then you know it's a faked note. He's a con artist, call security.
That broken Britt caught me off guard lol 😂😂😂 and the "works every time" is cherry on top
Brilliant! I thought for sure Rowan was going to walk in and immediately side with Ben. Great job, Britt!
All the acting awards to Britt. What a performance.
1:48 Brit sounds like Elizabeth Swan yelling at Jack Sparrow haha
I kind of expected of Brit to be like "Oh great sir, here's your USB stick for free ! There's your medically-advised free item. Anything else you'd like to purchase ?" but this is just as good an ending !
That would have been good lol.
Imagine Alan watching Britt on how to counter Ben's actions and then do some notes 😂😂
PS: Alan picks up a highlighter, highlighting the word "Without nosebleeding" 🤣🤣
She is awesome, just like everyone else in their own insane ways :)
Love this family
How Britt acted, it's fabulous, premium pure gold.
Magnificent acting. Thank you VLDL! You always me cheer up!
How the fuck is it even possible that Bored is still getting better and better after all this time?
Love it!
Because we believe...just like Pan believed...
Easy to see here why Britt is the most accomplished actress on the VLDL team. That was Oscar worthy.
Reminds of a compilation of actors who got injured for real but continued the scene anyway and it made it to the movie.
Isn't Ellie a lot better ?
Yeah shes great but its a pity that Ellie havent got big roles in sketches for awhile😢
Did you forget about Avatar star Rowan?
@@matthewsmith7872 which video
Was half expecting rowan to walk in and do his usual manager thing but this was just *chefs kiss* also thanks tom!
The "works every time line" at the end was hilarious.
... That's it, Britt has dethroned Rowan as my favourite.
I genuinely can't wait for when she snaps and finds the white shirt.
Did she just scam him into leaving, and backing down on his scam??? Okay, that might have been the most impressive thing any character has ever done in the history of your shows VLDL!
Poor Britt doing the mental gymnastics to get around Ben's bs and then having a breakdown is brilliant and also highly terrifying. I was typing the first part of this comment and honestly froze when she just stopped and said "works every time". All righty then. Continuing to ramp up the spookiness with everything and it's great.
She defeated the by villain being more insane than him
Britt is becoming one of my favorites, she fits in perfectly.
I love Britt's character in this. Shes just awesome at her job.
"“The customer is always right, in matters of taste.”
That last part is important XD
Well in this case, the dr's note stated Ben needed the free item. Which means the dr is stating it. The dr is NOT the customer! But as always damn good skit, Britt and Ben
Britt is already my fav of the cast but now she is my absolute QUEEN
Britt absolutely crushed this one
Britt's recent skits have been pure gold.
