Solution

Yes, the pronoun and antecedent agreement in the sentence is correct. The pronoun "they" is being used in a singular form to refer to "a customer". This usage is now widely accepted in English language, especially in cases where the gender of the person is not specified. It helps in avoiding the awkward "he/she" construction. So, in the sentence "A customer is always right, but that doesn’t mean they know what they are talking about", "they" and "they are" correctly refer back to "a customer".
