So, if they are eating steak and they say that is rare, instead of medium or medium rare, it would be rude to try and argue or contradict them. You can offer to take it back and cook it more, but arguing will only cause drama. While the person complaining may just be trying to cause trouble or get a free meal, arguing back will only cause more problems. And if that person doesn't come back, there is no real loss if they are only a troublemaker. But, the problem doesn't lie with them, it lies with the people around them.
Diners around the table that is complaining won't know the whole story, all they will see is someone saying that their food isn't the way they want it to be and the attitude from the staff as confrontational.
If someone comes into a clothing store, tries on a size 6 and says it is too small for them, so it must be sized wrong. Don't argue with them. If you tell them that they are not actually a size six, they are going to take it as you're saying that they are heavier than they think they are. If they are already so concerned that they automatically assumed they couldn't be a higher size, then they are already on the defensive. I'd say the best thing to do, would be to offer to get them a higher size and say that some of the styles run small. Which is true for a lot of brands and stores, so it won't be a lie but it will not cause an issue.
Anyway, this will be a short post. I just wanted to point out what this saying means, at least as far as I understand it. Maybe it depends on whether it is food, fashion, or general service based.
But the key thing, whether I'm right about the meaning or not, is respect. But that is really something that should be universal no matter what you do or who you are.
That is all you are going to get out of me tonight. Will try and write something for easter tomorrow.
Best wishes.
