Quote:Several retail concern used this as a slogan from the early 20th century onward. In the USA it is particularly associated with Marshall Field's department store, Chicago
Quote:Of course, these entrepreneurs didn't intend to be taken literally. What they were attempting to do was to make the customer feel special by inculcating into their staff the disposition to behave as if the customer was right, even when they weren't.
Saying that, and I qoute you for this, Exospectron
Quote:Customer is always right.
Is the most misinformed statement that anyone, anywhere has ever made.
Back when I got my first job and I worked in grocery/retail as a cashier while at school, a lot of self-entitled fat people or otherwise angry social security cases (which I was familiar with personally) lorded this over the cashiers and other workers as if it was a Norwegian thing.
So here's a list of what you're doing wrong:
You believe you're entitled to a service you're not paying for
Even if you had been paying for it, it's not "in the business acumen" so to speak, so your point is invalid
Balance is supposed to respect gameplay and give everyone a fair shot. Small transports are useful in their own way, being less likely to attract immediate attention being one of them. another reason being agility. If you remove the incentive for choice, everyone's gonna need a hundred years to grind up to a point where it feels "fun" or rewarding to do something as bland (as the case is, sometimes) as trading
The mod is maintianed by people who know what they're doing. and they do it for free. Deal with it
It just kinda irks me even all this time even though I have a way different job anymore that some ancient slogan for a single company has become the catch-all for arguments that aren't even valid.
As I used to tell people who served me "the customer is always right"...
"Concerning what he wants, yes, but the costumer can't suddenly defy gravity because he feels like it."
