"Who Is It pays your salary?" "The, firm," said u fellow behind me, "Where do they get the money from to liay 5011?" asked Henton, As none of us answered, he went on; "It Is really the customer who p:iyn your wages; so It Is the customer who Is the real boss. "Now, remember that" every time you are serving a customer you aro serving tho boss, nnd If the 'boss' Is cranky or unreasonable, you cannot afford to be cranky or unreasonable, because If you are, the 'boss' might get ungty and put ou out of your Job."
