Calculus is a type of advanced math. Basic Calculus is, well, the basics of Calculus.

If you look at it this way, algebra 1 < geometry < algebra 2 < precalculus < calculus. You could also throw in college algebra or trigonometry in there and they'd all be below calculus. Just to give you a frame of reference to the type of mathematics OP is talking about. Much harder than counting pocket change.

I know what calculus is, but did he mean differentiation and limits?

Probably just whatever was in calc 1. I don't remember exactly what was in mine, it's been too long.

Basic calculus is Year 11-12 maths, differentiation and limits like you said.

Probably calc a / 1

While I'm not disagreeing with you, because many people are certainly qualified for better jobs but can't due to lack of experience/availability, I'd just like to point out how disconnected your two statements are. You make it seem like the shit retail people have to deal with automatically makes them qualified for better jobs. Which it most certainly does not.

Let's be honest, it's not like retail people are the only ones who have to put up with shitat their jobs. I'm an engineer and I get all kinds of shit too. Customers, bosses, colleagues, operators, other managers.

Every job comes with it shit. Retail does not have it worse. I work in the psych field, and we will deal with the clients, their families, supervisors, other agencies the client may have plans with, insurance, and making sure to always follow every government regulation while still giving the client all of our attention. So counting charge, when most cash registers tell you how much the customer's is to receive, is no excuse .

Honestly, retail is the worst field to work in in my experience, simply because the general public is filled with entitled ass holes. I currently work in law enforcement and let me tell you, criminals are easier to deal with then some of the ass hats I've dealt with in retail. They don't pay retail workers enough for what they do.

You misunderstand the post. The man gave her a large amount of small change to pay for his items. You don't have it any worse, if anything, retail is seen as worse because it's paid so low for the amount of shit people deal with.

Look at all the people with far, far better paying jobs complaining that their jobs are hard too. Yes, every job has a lot of shit with it, but retail and food service are spent entirely dealing with the public. Who are, largely, assholes. And minimum wage workers get way less respect and way less money to go along with that extra helping of shittyness.

he didn't refuse to help someone who didn't know how to spell a word, he refused a nonsensical request, the man asked him to spell average length words, not a specific word, just any old word.

unless of course he went through asking each individual word, but even then a constant stream of random and completely irrelevant words would have confused anyone

Studying law, probably is a dick

he didn't know it was nonsensical, and how do you ask someone to spell a word without specifying the word?

Sorry for calling you a dick

I'm constantly called a dumb blonde. Even in school. I have a degree in genetics and a degree in political science, and I'm now in law school. I've been called a dumb blonde by people who graduated 3 years late from high school with only a GED because they kept failing and now they will only ever be able to work retail jobs. I hate the stereotype so much.
