Though not nearly as bad as the witchiepoo, I’ve known of a friend who came close. He’d ask for a cup of ice and a cup of cola with no ice. That way he’d get two drinks for price of one.
The original quote was “The customer is always right in matters of taste.” Meaning if they want catsup with steak, or an orange shirt with pinstripes, let them buy it.
The quote has been twisted around, so people think it allows them to take advantage of retailers.

The customer is always right Broomie. After they spend money.

If you aren’t buying something, you are not a customer.

Some people take packets of ketchup from diners, add them to hot water, and call it tomato soup.

But the establishment reserves the right to determine who’s a customer.

Maybe when you become a real customer you’ll find out, freeloader Broomie!
