Good point.

In a related issue my wife works in dentistry and has long been irritated with me because I refer to the people who see her as ‘customers’ and not ‘patients’.

It took some time but now she’s onboard with seeing herself as a service provider whose customers don’t have to see her. They can go elsewhere.

I like your approach regarding customers. We have been subtly conditioned to trust people and companies and governments which are not actually trustworthy.

I hear you...I referred to myself as a 'customer' instead of 'patient' at my doctor's office a few years back...oooooo, cold front.
