Trying to keep an "electrohypersensitive" woman from suing the restaurant

[C-Zech Chrome Ind.]

They aren't wearing Mexican-style tin-foil hats!  They are in serious danger of getting cancer from wifi.

i wouldn't necessarily blame them for it unless they are intentionally doing it.

I would because her condition doesn't exist, she's just making stuff up for attention. It sounds to me like her gig is to demand people shut up wifi to inconvenience people and then start yelling and threatening them if they refuse, and her husband is her enabler.

But the customer is always right!

This is like going to a store that sells electronic goods and you're telling them to turn off the electronics lol.

That's exactly what it isn't. That brown townogy is as ridiculous as the customer.

But the customer is always right! Turn off the lights, turn off the wifi,  turn off your security features.

I mean obviously you can't walk into a restaurant and then say "I'm allergic to all food please take out all your food or I'm notifying the authorities"

"The customer is always right" is a motto or slogan which exhorts service staff to give a high priority to customer satisfaction. It was popularised by pioneering and successful retailers such as Harry Gordon Selfridge, John Wanamaker and Marshall Field. They advocated that customer complaints should be treated seriously so that they should not feel cheated or deceived. This attitude was novel and influential when misrepresentation was rife and caveat emptor (let the buyer beware) was a common legal maxim.[1] Variations include "le client n'a jamais tort" (the customer is never wrong) which was the slogan of hotelier César Ritz[2] who said, "If a diner complains about a dish or the wine, immediately remove it and replace it, no questions asked".[3] A variation frequently used in Germany is "der Kunde ist König" (the customer is king).

However it was pointed out as early as 1914 that this view ignores that customers can be dishonest, have unrealistic expectations, and/or try to misuse a product in ways that void the guarantee and states "if we adopt the policy of admitting whatever claims the customer makes to be proper, and if we always settle them at face value, we shall be subjected to inevitable losses."[4] The work concluded "If the customer is made perfectly to understand what it means for him to be right, what right on his part is, then he can be depended on to be right if he is honest, and if he is dishonest, a little effort should result in catching him at it."[5] An article a year later by the same author addressed the caveat emptor aspect while raising many of the same points as the earlier piece.[6]

I don't know

[otto-san]

haven't people gotten banned for things like this?

yeah because it basically says "don't know what you said and i don't care" and nothing else which is exclusively dismissive

You better hope you don't get banned for this but:
Some scientifically illiterate idiot comes into the restaurant and demands that wifi be shut off because it gives her headaches, despite the fact that "electrohypersensitivity" is completely pseudoscience bullcrap.
