  “…in matters of taste” is the phrase you forgot, bud.

  There’s no evidence of that being used originally. It was just made up by people or reddit/tiktok

  I’ve been orbiting the sun for more than 40 years and that’s the first time I’ve heard that, which doesn’t surprise me in the slightest, people will always misquote stuff for there own benefit.

    It’s because it’s not true. It was always “the customer is always right”, full stop, originating in 1920s department stores as a slogan to encourage employees to be doormats for entitled customers. Gotta make the owners richer at the cost of the employee’s self respect. Then folks on the internet uncritically started repeating this “matters of taste” nonsense in the last decade or so, and here we are.
