Customer Is Always Right

A funny thing happened at the office today. It all started when the boss called for Little Johnny. The boss was not happy. He said, “(Shouting) Little Johnny, come to my office immediately.” Little Johnny, probably a bit nervous, replied, “Yes, sir!” and hurried to the boss’s office.

The boss looked stern. He said, “Little Johnny, I noticed you arguing with the customer who just left. I’ve told you before that the customer is always right. Do you understand?” Little Johnny, knowing the rules, answered clearly, “Yes, sir! The customer is always right.”

The boss seemed satisfied for a moment, but then his curiosity got the better of him. He asked, “So, what were you arguing about with that customer?” This is where the funny part comes in.

Little Johnny, with a perfectly straight face, explained, “He said my boss is stupid and an idiot, sir!” The boss, of course, was taken aback by this. He probably didn’t expect such a direct insult.

He paused for a second, then, wanting to know how Little Johnny handled this difficult situation, asked, “That foolish man. What did you say to him?”

Little Johnny, with a twinkle in his eye (at least in my imagination), replied, “I told him he’s right.”
