Brought to you by my discovery that some people think that “the customer is always right” isn’t the slogan of a long-dead department store, but rather it’s an actual call the cops law.

The customer called it racist. The person you were responding to said that discrimination would be a better descriptor, but also that the customer was still silly for thinking they had a case because of it, regardless of what words the customer used.

It takes a certain kind of person to get upset that a store isn't treating you like an employee. What's next, demanding access to the private areas? Wait, people already do that too :(

The person I responded to said discriminatory didn't even make sense. I pointed out why it does make sense, because it is discriminatory and that's perfectly fine.

Yes, that's true and not in contrast with what I've said.

Some people just like to argue.
