[i]I just witnessed this accident in a mall.
An arrogant costomer shouted to a saleslady
with all her actions and negative comments against
the saleslady. She wants the saleslady to be out of the
service for the unreasonable performance she has done.
The manager arrived and asked the costomer to be in their
office for the clarification and investigation.
She was angry because she keeps on waiting for the stock
to arrive. What if the management will favor the costomer will
the saleslady lost her job? Is this appropriate for the sayings that
goes, Costomer is always right?

Well, the customer isn't always right, be he is still the customer. The salesperson has no control over when stock arrives (unless she's the one who order it, but she still has no control over the situation once the order is placed), and it's unfair for this customer to take out her frustration on on the salesperson. Arrogance is a horrible trait, anyway. I hope the manager sides with the salesperson if she is generally doing a satisfactory job.

I don't agree with the saying that customer is always right.
Some customers are rude. Some are plain pain in the head.
Some saleslady also are not attentive to the customers.

Not all the time customers were right. I have been in a customer service division in our company and I've also experience the scenario you have stated I was just lucky that the management of our company favor in me but if not I might lose my job right away.
There are really some customers that does not know how to respect other people and they see the persons in customer service as their maids or slaves which is very wrong.

Sometimes customers can be unreasonable. That customer service lady should keep her job. You can't just force someone out of service because of stock not arriving yet. Yes it can be frustrating when you want something that is still not in stock, but you have to be reasonable toward the salesperson.
I don't think management should favor the customer. I have to say that the customer can't always be right.
