Does it really, though? That’s a common unsubstantiated claim on random forums but I’ve never seen any real evidence that that is the original phrase and not something that was later added. Edit: Though the addition probably is closer to the intended meaning, customers obviously can be wrong at times.
Hmm, after a little cursory research it seems like you’re right - I can’t find any obvious evidence that what I quoted was ever the original phrase.
Though it does seem like the intention was more to tell the customer they’re right so they’ll buy something, rather than the customer just being able to demand whatever they want.

Conveniently, the quote always misses out the second half. “The customer is always right in matters of taste”
