    The customer is always right most of the time? Y-axis fail.

    • edancoll says:

      Good call.

    • Snommelp says:

      The customer is always right most of the time and always wrong almost always…
      o_O
      even if you take out the always in the title, it still doesn’t make sense…

      • Some Guy says:

        No, this can happen (ignoring the always)
        The customer can be both right and wrong in a “it feels so right… but I know it’s so wrong” sort of way. Then again, I’m not sure what kind of business would attract this kind of customer… This is why the %right and %wrong appears to add up to more than 100%.

    • Nick R. Bocker says:

      not a fail, imo… the awkward wording of each composite situation is intentional as a satire on the saying “the customer is always right” as in “the customer is always right… sometimes.”

    • Paula says:

      agreed

  2. Brick says:

    So true.

  3. Hailey says:

    First graphjam to make me LOL in a while.

  4. Lucy says:

    Should have been a pie chart.

  5. Tubby says:

    But, according to Ben Affleck, “the customer’s always an asshole!”
    (Mallrats, 1994)

  6. melinda says:

    I know for a fact that the customer is always wrong… they need to learn that

    • papajon says:

      HEY, I’m a customer! oh wait…. I’m also a tool, nvm.

    • Athanar says:

      They’re not always wrong, they’re only wrong when they try to go against the rules of the store.

      • Dexaan says:

        Which is exactly when they pull out “the customer is always right”.

        • Adeline says:

          If I got a dollar everytime I had to hear some asshat asking for something unreasonable try to tell me how the customer is always right, I would be able to retire and never work in customer service again. Ahhhh.

      • Jane St.Clair says:

        Or when they want to buy a book on a topic that hasn’t been written by anyone, ever, in the history of book writing because said topic is so stupid and inane and they say, “Can’t you just take me to the Cheese Wrestling section?”

  7. Yarcofin says:

    Something can’t be right most of the time AND almost always wrong.

  8. hehehe says:

    Wait, if the customer is always a tool, and the Clearks are always an ass, shouldn’t hey be perfect for each others?

    • hehehe says:

      Also, doesn’t the added youtube clip contradict the Graph, what with the Clerks being the tools in that particular incidence.

  9. Kurt says:

    I like that this graph alienates almost everyone. Even the people who like it are being insulted, unless they’ve never purchased anything ever.

  10. jstagurl says:

    I find this hilarious as I am in the service industry as well and most customers think they “are always right” when they are acting like a “tool.”

    WIN!

  11. jl5691426 says:

    I think I pulled a muscle in my brain trying to understand this convoluted mess.

  12. V says:

    Just wondering how a costumer can be right most of the time and almost always be wrong.

    • StCyr says:

      You fail for being the 3rd person to say this exact thing.
      And for not spell-checking.
      And for having no sense of humor.
      And just in general.

    • Devylan says:

      Oh, my costumer is almost always wrong in that she often cuts my cape too short, but she’s also right most of the time because I pay her with beer.

  13. Marlea says:

    Unbelievable! These folks obviously learned their math from a McDonald’s itemized touch pad cash register, where only itms appear and no math is involved. too cool, that you blogged this!

  14. Coolwind says:

    It was intended to be funny it is funny and yet…..all this. Get a life people!

  15. Anne says:

    The “Right” bar needs to be much shorter…

  16. Mertado says:

    Think of it in Einsteinian terms. From a customer’s perspective, they are always right. From a clerk’s perspective, the customer is always wrong. A totally objective, and omniscient, third party can therefore conclude that the customer is always right AND always wrong at the same time and usually a tool to boot (yes, I work in the service industry).

  17. Nixon says:

    So, uh… The guy/chick who made this chart either: never shops anywhere ever, or is also a tool.

    Sorry, I’ve worked in retail and customer service, but this one just didn’t do it for me.

  18. Matt Scheaffer says:

    And the clerk is a loser who needs to get a real job. Ohhhh boy!! 8 bucks an hour!! WOW
