It's not a metaphor. They are literally the customer.

They're a customer in the same way that a martial arts student is a customer: getting your butt kicked is literally what you're paying for.

  • Sure. And just like with a martial arts student, if you kick their butt too hard, you will lose the customer and might get sued.

    • Sued for giving out hard work assignments? That doesn't sound plausible. Under what theory would a student have a case?
