Today, as I rung up a customer's groceries, he gave me a pitying look and said I'd have a "real job" if I'd only studied harder. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a customer at the fast-food joint I work at gave me a pitying look and asked, "How's that liberal arts degree treating ya?" FML
Today, I'm a cashier in a grocery store. The visiting regional manager tore me a new one for being lazy. His reason? After working a double shift with no break, I decided to sit down for a minute when things got slow. FML
Today, a customer called me a "smart ass" because I helped him scan his coupon correctly. FML
Today, at the store, I didn't hear the cashier when she asked if I had a loyalty card. She took one look at my naturally bitchy-looking face and muttered "It's my JOB to ask, jeez." FML
Today, a customer berated me and told me to stop whining because I have to work on the weekend. What did I do to deserve this? I said, "Hi, how are you doing today?" FML
Today, a jobless person felt sympathy for me because I work retail. FML
Today, desperate for work, I went into a shop and asked the owner if he had any spare jobs to fill. He looked me up and down and sneered, "Yes, but not for people like... you." FML
Today, at work, I took a call from an angry customer. After listening to his problem and fully explaining how we could fix it, he called me a stupid girl and said I need more training as I obviously know nothing about my job. I'm the company training coordinator. FML
Today, a customer gave me the dirtiest look ever and muttered, "Goody two-shoes prick" after I asked if he'd like to donate a few cents to charity. FML
Today, I got the best grade in class on my economics midterm. Rather than tell me I did a good job, my professor criticized me in front of everyone about how I was working "too hard". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

We need people for all kinds of jobs, even the ones that require no special education. Judging peoples value based on their job is such bs.

Everyone should respect each other in the workforce as there is people living off of welfare with no job. A job is a job.

Most people "on welfare" have jobs, they just do not make enough to survive.

I'd say you're winning with having a job. .

Clearly he's a jackass. There is absolutely no shame in your job or in anyone's job. Some people simply enjoy their work no matter what it is. What matters is if you are happy and cool with what you do. Neither him or anyone else opinion matter. That man is simply ignorant. Don't let people like that get to you. He looks down on people who do the jobs that make his life easier. You are not that jackass whisperer so simply ignore that type of behavior.

If everyone who studied harder had a better job than cashier then there'd be no one to serve his entitled arse.

Are you maybe working and going to college at the same time? I worked with a lot of young people who were- I give them so much credit. People shouldn't judge whom they don't know. I'm glad you are above being nasty back.

People are such assholes!!! If you like what you're doing then that's more than alot of people can say. And if it's just a stepping stone then keep looking toward your goal! :)

If you studied harder he wouldn't be able to get his groceries

No matter how educated people are. Some are still stupid.

The economy doesn't care how much you study
