CUSTOMER SHOULD BE TREATED MORE IMPORTANT THAN CLIENT. I JUST GUESS. -wjiang(wjiang); 2001-3-24 (#36671@0)

Client focus on service, customer means buy some physical staff. -www(www); 2001-3-24 (#36684@0)
customer通常自己到你的店里来要你提供服务，而client通常你要上门提供服务。我也是猜的，我在店里做的时候，他们通常都叫customer. -yellow(yellow); 2001-3-24 (#36694@0)
"customer" is used in more general and broader way, but "client" is used more in business and professional environment. For example, if you use the services of a lawyer, he will regard you as a client. -motown(motown); 2001-3-24 (#36720@0)
how about to understand it this way: customer = 顾客，client = 客户？ -sw989(Londoner); 2001-3-24 (#36721@0)
