Customer
A customer is the most important visitor on our premises.
He is not dependent upon us. We are dependent upon him.
He is not an interruption on our work. He is the purpose for it.
He is not an outsider on our business. He is part of it.
We are not doing him a favour by serving him. He is doing us
a favour by giving us an opportunity to do so.
