"We're not happy until you're not happy"

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

The usual business slogan is "If you're (the customer) not happy, we're  (the 
business) not happy." Recently, it's been "We're not happy until  you're not 
happy." In today's Austin American-Statesman, it's said that this is  the 
motto of the U.S. General Services Administration. Government always has it  
backwards.
...
A check shows that the phrase has also been attributed to the FAA, to SONY,  
and to tech support, all since 1997.
