[scrotnig]

The 'I pay your wages' crap belongs alongside 'the customer is always right' which is equally rubbish.

I happen to think that my local garage should give me free petrol for life. They won't, but then they ought to because I am a customer of theirs and the customer is always right. It's a load of old cobblers.

Both the above phrases had a genuine original purpose but have long since been hijacked by half witted numbskulls who have no idea how the real world works.
