顾客 would be more appropriate in this situation, as 客户 leans towards the word "client". Generally, 顾客 is more informal, and the latter formal. Cheers!

In this situation, use 客人. It is more informal. If the customer hears you using a formal term when they hear you talking to your boss, the effect is reversed and they will think that you are being condescending to them.
