Today, I had to explain what "cashback" was to a customer. She called me a liar and wanted to talk to a manager because she felt I made up the concept. I'm the manager. She wouldn't believe me and waited in the store for an hour. Apparently this is what a Masters degree gets me. FML

Damn. Sad truth is, it can only get worse working in customer service.

Its as if people just don't read or crawl from underneath their naive and sheltered rocks to bask in some semblance of common sense, even if it is for a second. Peoples stupidity actually hurts.

I'm from France and they don't do cashback in my country. I moved to Ireland and the first time I was offered cashback, I have to admit that I was completely puzzled. I didn't attack the checkout lady though, I just told her I didn't have a clue what she was talking about. She just laughed and told me that was ok and to forget about it. I was a bit embarrassed because the other customers were staring at me like I was some simpleton ^^ I was explained a while later what it meant. But that woman was clearly unbalanced...

Maybe op tried but couldn't get a job through his degree. It happens all the time to a lot of people. Getting a degree does not guarantee you a job. Just increases your chances.

Actually, in a lot of cases it can hurt your chances of getting a job. I have a master's and when I got laid off a few years ago, I had a hell of a time finding a new job because a lot of places just can't afford to pay me. And I'm a teacher-- a field that should value and respect education. I know a few people with master's degrees in various fields that have had the same problems.

Well, with a masters in english literature and the history of drag, this is what you can expect.

Because it's basically a lottery trying to get a job? You need experience and connections, not qualifications. Unfortunately people are still buying into the system (myself included) and the prospects we were promised at the start of our courses have not materialised. Don't hate on someone who has worked very hard and hasn't reached their goals yet.
