Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I believe the original meaning is more pragmatic/cynical. If the customer wants to buy something dumb then let them buy something dumb.
This too. But I wouldn't call it more cynical; it's simply that you don't know how the goods are going to be used as well as the customer does, so from their PoV what you consider buying something dumb might be actually smart.
True, but it also means if the customer wants to buy a chocolate kettle then you sell them one.
Yeah I think the full aphorism was "The customer is always right in matters of taste."
