To this day I have no idea who came up with that phrase, but clearly they never had to do any type of customer service work. If the customer is wrong, they're wrong and you should find a polite way to tell them .

Why would you spend $200 on a Playbook when you could have put that money on an Android, iOS or even Windows device?
