It should really be considered more as "the customer is always right in matters of taste".

But even that goes so far. I once had a lady try to buy kids ski goggles that were too small and blocked her vision because she didn't like how big adult-size goggles are. I refused to sell them to her because that is dangerous to other people.

Safety isn't a matter of taste. After a certain threshold maybe, but prior to that, it's a matter of responsibility (and sometimes legal liability).

Right. That's my point. To her, the way she looked was the only thing that was important and she refused to accept the reality that kids goggles were a danger.
