The Customer is King 

A corporate cliche meaning that the direction of a business is ultimately determined by its customers. The business is compelled to sell products and services that customers want/need, at a price they are willing to pay, and provide an acceptable level of service, otherwise customers will look elsewhere and they will not make money.

It does not, as many people believe, mean that individual customers are always right, or that the business should be compelled to pander towards the whims of these individual customers. It is only the aggregate needs of all potential customers that need to be fulfilled.
If you don't think that sandwich is worth $6 then buy lunch elsewhere. The customer is king.

AOl customer service syndrome 

A new approach to customer service with the thinking that huge doses of politeness and friendliness will make up for a total lack of actual practical assistance. See also cellular service provider customer service syndrome.
I called my bank about a problem and recieved a bunch of AOL customer service syndrome.

customer service 

A service that a company provides to individuals. 90% of what customer service representatives deal with are people known as idiots. These idiots are losers, whiners and no do-gooders that have nothing else to do with their time.
You realize this after working in a phone center for a short amount of time.

Xbox Customer Support 

Microsoft's Attempt at customer service for their highly acclaimed Xbox and Xbox 360 consoles. It mainly consists of Mexicans, Indians (Like Dirka-Dirka Indians, not Buffalo and Casino Indians), and occasionally the very helpful white guy. But that's if you're lucky. Don't be surprised if you get pissed with your "supporter" and he forwards you to The Head Supervisor. Which in the end is another Shitty-Speaking Mexican or an Indian who's name is Baka-Bakalaka Dirka Mohammed Jihad, or Jose. In the end, shit is either resolved due to a simple fix, or turns into a cluster-fuck of annoyance and frustration with one of the biggest electronic producing companies in the world. Also Known as Microshit. And don't expect them to actually do anything when big problems occur. They'll call you back in a couple of days and say "I am sorry Sir/Ma'am, there is nothing we can do Dirka Dirka Dirka.
Xbox Customer Support Representative- (Cheap Indian Accent) Ello my name is Baka-Bakalaka Dirka Mohammed Jihad, May I get your first and last name?

Xbox Gamer in Distress- Yeah, It's, Get Me Another Fucking Representative or I'll rip that red dot off your forehead.

Xbox Customer Support Representative- Ok sir one moment. I'll forward you to my supervisor, Jose Pablo.

Xbox Gamer in Distress-... Dial Tone ...
