Explanation
A customer is a person who buys goods or services from a business or shop. Customers can purchase food from a restaurant, clothes from a store, or services like a haircut or banking help. Businesses focus on keeping their customers happy because satisfied customers return and recommend the service to others. Without customers, a business cannot succeed. A customer is different from a “client,” which often means a longer, professional relationship (like a lawyer’s client). Everyone becomes a customer in daily life when shopping or paying for services.
