   I suspect siome of this is micromanagement in play ("do NOTHING thast wasn't in   
   your training video") as some board exec realized that when minwagers are   
   allowed think, they cost you money. (e.g. custopmer is always right gets   
   misused quickly by a lot of customers, once word gets out of a sucker at a   
   till.)   
      
   I always consider customers right, but customer to me strictly means someone   
   providing positive cashflow to my boss' monthly cashflow report.   
      
   Because my first customer is my boss; the guy giving me a paycheque   
   fortnightly.   
      
   Customers pay you for what you're offering for sale or hire.   
      
   I'm humble enough to know I can be wrong, so I'll never call someone a liar &   
   cheat, even while deftly refusing their request for a cash refund.   
      
   I liked one Safeway manager's philosophy: if it's under $10, just take care of   
   it; he doesn't want bad feelings from a customer over such a small amount, &   
   doesn't feel the need to doublecheck the issue by walking from where he's   
   already busy TCB, to the front.   
      
   Maybe this policy wasn't much noted, as I'd expect, in this neighbourhood, much   
   abuse, but maybe he only told me because he could tell this was so I wouldn't   
   be afraid cashiers are overstepping their bounds in not caling him.   
      
   Your friend,
