Customer service

BET Journal | June 20, 2025

Joshua worked for "Levine's Tailors" and was a successful salesman. He was always polite to his customers and as a result was nearly always able to sell a suit to anyone who walked into the shop. So it was a surprise when, after 10 successful years, he resigned to join the police force. His father couldn't understand why his son should give up a good job to become a policeman. So at the end of Joshua's first week, he calls Joshua to ask how he liked his new job.

"Well dad," Joshua replied, "It's nice of you to ask. The salary is just about OK, the hours aren't as bad as I thought they would be and my colleagues are a great bunch. But what I like best is that the customer is always wrong."
