Let me refresh your memory:

"and if my employees don't like that"
"What if my customers complained"

You did'nt say some employees or some customers. So I gave you an answer according to what you said. Change the definition of the example and I'll change my answer.

And now you reply telling me that the owner is happy, the workers are happy "and if my employees don't like that" and all the customer who use product A "What if my customers complained"

Could you please tell me now who's happy and who's not happy?
