Todays /success topic of the day: What’s one outdated practice or belief that you think needs to be challenged or discarded? I think we need to change the practice of saying “the customer is always right.” This can lead to toxic client relationships and to unreasonable expectations. It’s ok to say NO. What do you think?

“im not creative” how many people have said that as a consequence of having been raised as they were, or brought up by an educational system that didn’t worry about bringing the best out of them, but forcing them into constraints. you need to be an engineer. if not you can’t add value to life so we get to see only the creative genious of those that are crazy enough to not care about what people say how many voices have we not heard? how many paintings have not been painted? we are all creative it’s on our nature as human beings

Another outdated practice that should be rethought is the idea that “working longer means you’re more productive.” It often leads to burnout and doesn’t always mean better results. Focusing on doing quality work and having a healthy worklife balance is much more effective.

"Go to school, get good grades, be a doctor (or equivalent), get a job with good benefits & work until retirement" I recognize that it's not as common today but, people growing up in households with older generations still share that mindset. This could not be further from the truth... Although it may still be a viable option for some, it is definitely not the only, nor the best option in today's world. It's time we break free of old ideals & embrace the new opportunities we have now.

I've always believed that this saying is only applicable at the retail store front level. Customers or clients can be difficult, and some try to take advantage of that relationship. There are some people out there who simply consider being a pain in the ass, a part of doing business. For those people I have to ask myself 'is the juice worth the squeeze'? (I'm paraphrasing someone there; I don't remember who). If the answer to that is no, then I'll thank them for considering and choosing me, but I'm not going to be able to work with them. You know, in a perfect world. Sometimes though I just have to grin and bear it and wait for the weekend.

In Korea, there's a saying, "Customers are kings." It's similar to what you said, but it's a stronger meaning. Customers have become kings because of such bad practices. In restaurants, some people think of their employees as servants. More and more customers have become kings, and the people who run restaurants are tired. Of course, it was about a small number of people. Now, the social atmosphere has changed a lot and we are starting to point out customers who have become kings. Customs that were bad for changing societies have to disappear and the right culture has to be established.

Just because it is obligatory to respect parents does not necessarily mean that all their words are true and they have more experience than us. Sometimes you have to say no to them

seeing all of these companies mandating return to office is just an indication that they don’t understand that today’s workers. you can get so much more work out of remote employees if they don’t need to spend the time traveling to and from work. also having them sit in an office with no interaction is just pointless

The “man always pays for dinner out” is tired and patriarchal… sometimes even transactional. My manhood doesn’t feel threatened when a woman wants to pick up the check, I find it to be sweet and a nice change.

"The customer is always right" is wrong ... i worked at an upscale bar and this regular who lived across the street was acting like a jerk so i kicked him out. He then called 911 on me from outside the bar, they came a few minutes later and took him to jail for public intoxication. Insane entitlement

Besides that, I think what needs to be challenged is that women are always right.

The culture of using cash in Japan. Japan has advanced anti-counterfeiting technology for bills, so cash is highly trusted. Even now, there are still many stores that only accept cash. When I tell people from abroad about this, they’re always surprised. While it’s important technology, it feels outdated.

I think it is indeed a habit that must be changed. Such a habit will require employees to always do their work without mistakes. In fact, such a thing will make employees stressed and unhappy in doing their jobs. Both employees and customers should be equally satisfied and happy. In my opinion, maintaining a balance between customers and employees is one of the most important things that business people must do.

The customer is not always right. Acknowledging that the customer is not always right helps keep the balance between customer and employee satisfaction. Both are essential for the success of your business.

I think sometimes but not with every customer especially not old customers who are really trustworthy. Otherwise, you’re right. I believe that starting relationships should not be done carelessly. It should begin with the guidance of psychologists and psychiatrists so that toxic and harmful relationships 1/2
