Customer is King?

Supermarkets are like televisions…
When you see much variety and choice,
You get overwhelmed and think
Ah! Yes customer is king!
But scratch your head and see again
You only can buy what is sold
And much of what is sold, buy you won’t
Just as on TV, they show you a lot of trash
And in flipping channels for more, you imitate
Life’s story of seeking the beyond. And yet
When you stop to see, you can
Never see what you wanted to see – you merely
Choose from what they think you should see…
God bless you for thinking you are king!
The king in real is the one who owns
The channel that hoodwinks you into thinking
It shows all you wanted to see…
The king in real is he who owns
The shop that outwits you into thinking
It sells all you wanted to buy…
Hmm! Customer is king? Neat deception!

Hi Deepesh
This is interesting,I do agree with you upto some extent.I would like to also add that when they say customer is king it also means that you as a customer make the decision and I personally think its better than not at all getting any choice.

Yeah, I agree, but then what I mean is the choice is limited to what they sell and not necessarily what you need! Thanks for the comment!
