1.Costumers were never wrong!

You could say "the costumers were never wrong" because that would limit the experience to those particular costumers at that point. If you mean "costumers in general", you want either "have never been wrong" (up to now) or "are never wrong" and never will be.

You probably mean "customers" though--clients of your enterprise, not people who make clothes for a show.


2.All of the anger and frustration caused by some snobbish guests is blamed to us who belongs from the lower positions.

Blamed on us; belongs to

The whole sentence is rather confusing though, and quite awkward: it's not at all clear who's angry and frustrated, and who's blaming you. Do you mean:

Snobbish guests cause anger and frustration, but we in the lower positions are blamed for it.

3.Now I saw a reason why he is not nice to the trainees.

"Saw a reason" sounds wrong to me. A reason is not an object. The tenses are mixed up. Also some people disapprove as redundant the phrase "reason why" any time it appears.

Now I know one reason for his not being nice to the trainees.

4.The people around her are whispering and gossiping, as they watch her show her bad attitude.

That sounds ok to me. Maybe "demonstrate"instead of show.
