Little Johnny had only been working at the store for two weeks, but his quick wit had already made him both loved and feared by his coworkers. One busy afternoon, his boss stormed out of his office, face flushed with frustration. “LITTLE JOHNNY! Come to my office right now!” he barked. Johnny hurried over, standing at attention. “Yes, sir!” he replied innocently.

The boss glared at him. “Johnny, I saw you arguing with that customer who just left. Haven’t I told you that the customer is always right?” Johnny nodded eagerly, “Yes, sir! The customer is always right!” The boss narrowed his eyes, still fuming. “Then tell me—what on earth were you arguing about?”

Johnny hesitated for a moment, shifting from one foot to the other. “Well, sir,” he began carefully, “the customer said you were an idiot.” The boss froze, his expression changing from anger to confusion as he tried to process Johnny’s words.

“And what did you say to that?” the boss finally asked, his tone softening. Johnny grinned mischievously and replied, “I told him he was right, sir. After all, you said the customer’s always right!” The boss sighed, rubbing his temples, realizing he’d just been outsmarted by his newest employee.
