No, it’s not. This and other ‘rewrites’ of phrases to mean the opposite thing (like ‘blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb’) all have no evidence of being ‘the original saying’.
I’ve checked, and You are right. The “matter of taste” and “waters of womb” parts are a recent addition. But it doesn’t make the oryginał proverb any better. The customer is always right is a bunch of capitalist bullshit.
Yeah, agreed. But ‘customer is always right’ is a slogan made by businessmen, so it’s no surprise it’s capitalist BS.
It’s a marketing term anyway, said by them as advertisements for their businesses, same as like, BK’s “have it your way”. Just another case of ads sticking in pop culture well past their actual relevancy.
