As their Friend/Manager, they needed to let someone (me) know if they were ok and using a personal day.

Yeah that's a pretty dumb fake story, the whole point of "the customer is always right" is that you have to eat poo poo and please the customer even when you know they're being assholes. Not that literally the customer is always right.

So many layers of stupid in that story

I'm guessing it was posted here in response to the lifehack story earlier for fitting the theme of treating incredibly mundane stuff as noteworthy revelations.

"The customer is always right" was a Marshall Fields slogan a hundred years ago. The only people who ever say it these days are customers who want to poo poo on front-facing employees - them, and Not Always Right retail fanfic authors.

Last time I had to do customer service training, it had been updated to "The customer is always right, except if they're harassing or proposing you*."

So yeah there's still people using that unironically.

This probably really happened but this guy is just a giant rear end in a top hat. Someone tries to make small talk with him and he starts yelling at them. Then his boss laughs but it's a nervous laugh where he's not sure if the guy is going to flip out even more.

Because of NAR, all I can think of is the girl saying "Oh my god, you play [popular mobile video game]?" She might(might) have been trying to weed in an "I play that too" conversation starter there. Too bad he layed down those sick negs too early. Guess he's out of the friend squad.
