Scene: The Boss’s Office  

Boss: (shouting) Little Johnny, get in here right now!  

Little Johnny: Yes, sir!  

Boss: I just saw you arguing with a customer who left a few minutes ago. How many times have I told you that the customer is always right? Do you understand me?  

Little Johnny: Yes, sir! The customer is always right.  

Boss: Then why on earth were you arguing with him?  

Little Johnny: Because he called my boss stupid and an idiot, sir.  

Boss: (indignant) That’s outrageous! What did you say to him?  

Little Johnny: I told him he was absolutely right.  

Ah, the perfect blend of irony and quick wit! In the unpredictable realm of customer service, moments like these remind us that humor often finds a way to shine through. Little Johnny manages to stay true to the golden rule of customer service while delivering a cheeky lesson in honesty.  

For anyone who’s ever worked with customers, this scenario is a relatable mix of absurdity and clever thinking. It’s a gentle nudge to embrace humor when navigating tricky situations. Sometimes, the best approach is to agree with a smile and let the irony speak for itself.  

And let’s not overlook the masterstroke here; Johnny kept the peace with the customer and gave his boss a little food for thought. Now that’s customer service done right!
