Imagine "well actuallying" someone with a lie then posting it as a fact for everyone to repeat all over the internet for years. There is no direct origin and no proof that Selfridge even said it at all.

    Even if Selfridge's entire existence were a collective fever dream*, the "full quote" is the better quote.

    I can't imagine anyone who has worked in direct sales, at any amount of money, who genuinely believes "the customer is always right" is more correct of a saying without "in matters of taste".

    *If everyone born before 1925 was a fever dream, it changes literally nothing about the state of the world today.
