I have a problem since when I enter the Customers Menu it is staring to execute case 1 immediately (which still doesn't work properly). Can someone help me fix this error please because I tried everything I know and it is still in vain

Answer 1

I think your issue is that in customers_menu() you output the menu, but do not read the selection, instead you call recordCount() which directly calls addCustomer().
After addCustomer() we return the customers_menu() which then calls scanf() for the long gone menu.
A few other notes:
gets() is not good, I suggest you use scanf() (with %s) instead.
Doing a printf() then clearing the screen is a bit pointless.
Error messages should really go to stderr (fprintf(stderr,...)) rather than stdout (printf(...))
You code is a missing trailing }.
cc is added to, but not used.

Answer 2

This problem coming from if (scanf("%d",&choice)==1) because scanf will not return choice. If you enter valid answer (like number), then it returns 1 and switch case work with 1. I think that's the problem.
If you enter char instead of integer, scanf will return 0.
