The customer is always right

(Verse 1) Retail smile plastered on, another day, another fight ("The customer is always right,") that slogan just ain't tight Screaming Karen at the counter, with a coupon long expired Demanding free stuff, my patience starts to tire (Chorus) ("The customer is always right?") Not in this retail game Some folks enter like a hurricane, spreading nothing but blame Rude and entitled, with demands out of line Wish I could tell them, ("Honey, that attitude's a crime!") (Verse 2) Spilled coffee on the floor, ("It's your fault, clean it up!") Sir, I warned you about that cup, with a flimsy plastic sup Returns without receipts, a story tall and bold Trying to scam the system, leaving me feeling cold (Chorus) ("The customer is always right?") Not in this retail game Some folks enter like a hurricane, spreading nothing but blame Rude and entitled, with demands out of line Wish I could tell them, ("Honey, that attitude's a crime!") (Bridge) We bend over backwards, service with a smile But common decency seems to go an extra mile Respect goes both ways, that's the golden rule they say Maybe a new slogan, ("Treat others how you'd like to play"?) (Chorus) ("The customer is always right?") Not in this retail game Some folks enter like a hurricane, spreading nothing but blame Rude and entitled, with demands out of line Wish I could tell them, ("Honey, that attitude's a crime!") (Outro) But hey, there's good ones too, the kind that make it worth A friendly conversation, a little bit of mirth So here's to the decent customers, the ones who understand That kindness is contagious, a helping hand in hand
