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

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.

People say stuff like that all the time. read any post on Notalwaysright and you will see it happens more often than you realize.

Op there's no doubt you have a real job. I consider any job that deals with assholes daily and your bosses expect to keep your cool and be nice a real job. Anyone who says otherwise is crazy. Try to ignore people like that and know they probably couldn't do it themselves.

Having ANY job is a blessing! Workers are needed for all areas and what might be drudgery for one will be an enjoyable experience for another. That guy was a total jerk. Don't let anyone put you down for earning a living.

I hate people like that. Especially the one who think they're better and then can't work the Pinpad.

I used to work in retail, and I could not STAND people that assume that you must be stupid or uneducated because of the job you have. Maybe this guy should have studied harder in school so he could understand that even if everyone in the world had a PhD, someone would still have to work at the grocery store...

i work as a cashier/customer service rep for an international company that makes millions, if not billions in revenue. people like this piss me off. you think i want to work here, for a company that is trying to perfect their self checks to replace me? half of us cashiers are here just to pay our way through school. its hard working customer service, it takes a special kind of person to uphold professionalism in a place like this. something i highly doubt a person like himself could. making it in this world is not all about how smart a peice of paper says you are. if he had an actual personality, he'd know that.

Why is this guy getting downvotes for asking a question.

And how does he know you're not doing this job as a temporary measure while getting through post-secondary education? Moron.
