Probably not.
I had a car-tax renewal notice in the post yesterday starting "Dear customer."
Hang on a minute! I'm not a customer! I'm a long suffering car owner who is threatened to have have my car towed away and crushed if I don't pay up.
Jeeze!
Customer? PAH!

You'll be amazed at the number of organisations these days who describe those who deal with them as customers - I've even seen it mentioned by NHS Trusts....:-)

"customer" implies the perosn involved has a CHOICE .. and of course in the commercial world Choice = specification and price...
With most Government organisations, the specification and price are fixed... they are monopoly suppliers..and you are a forced buyer.
So as usual it's just plain.. .. err.. rubbish. (I thought of a far more relevant word but the swear fltler ..etc)

Obviously someone who thought outside of the box in a blue sky way to change he world...not overnight, but 1 day at a time. They also probably got a small reward.

Patients, passengers, victims and perps may well be customers up to a point in their different ways, but honestly so what? They have better, more precise definitions (see above).
