In the early days of my career, I thought the customer was always right. The idea that one should fire a customer sometimes would have sounded like madness to me. However, as I have matured over the following four decades, I learned that sometimes the customer is not right.

One of my sisters is a flight attendant. Yesterday we talked about her enforcing mask requirements on her flights. With the CDC’s recommendation, I knew that vaccinated people don’t need to wear masks outdoors or indoors, but we still should cover up on planes, trains, and busses, which would put her in a challenging position. We happened to be having the mask conversation as my sister was walking down the jetway for a flight from Dallas to Des Moines.
