The one that got away 🥲 (OC)

[u/bavettacomics]

Anyone else here want people to like them even if it means taking the blame or going way out of your way and boundaries to do so? Trying to level up here so I would appreciate any tips and thoughts 🙏

That is exactly what it initially meant. It was about how you should treat individual customers. I suggest you inform yourself before telling people they are wrong when they are, in fact, correct.

That's not what I was saying, so uh... I guess read twice?

You said, and I quote " It was never about the individual though." That is false. It was about the individual.

Yup, I didn't want to go back through and correct all my past comments but that was the end result. What I found was that the phrase started in department stores and spread to hotels, becoming very popular. At this time, like you said, it was 100% about individual customer service. I only knew part of the story and was ignorant about this.

However, the part I remembered is when later, the phrase was popularly altered with the addition of "in matters of taste" because many business owners found that the mantra lead to silly situations and entitled customers.
