the customer is always right
USUK
a business should always try to give customers what they want
The English version of 'khách hàng là thượng đế'. Translating it word for word as 'the customer is God' sounds odd; 'the customer is king' is also used.
In context
My first boss taught me that the customer is always right, even when they're rude.
Not every shop believes the customer is always right anymore.
