Obviously you have forgotten that there are some fields out there that require more than 4 years of education. Pharmacy (6 years or more) for an example. Or maybe you'd want a better degree than a Master's or Bachelor's and take a few more years of courses. Don't forget about the fields that requires you to take additional classes every so often to keep your licences. Also, you must take into concideration that at this current moment companies typically aren't looking to hire new grads (if that was the case, my sister would have found a job in the medical field almost immediately rather than 3 months after graduation at the make-up counter.) or people with less than 5 years of experience. My point is that you shouldn't compare your experiences and make assumptions, it makes you look like a narcisistic jack ass. As it turns out, OP posted above proving his case...which in my opinion, he shouldn't have had to do. Good luck in the future OP, hopefully the fast food thing will just be a short thing for you.

No, OP was not being rude. If anything, the customer was being a braggart. And if you would have read through the comments, then you would have gotten the rest of the story. As for NEVER stooping so low, I'd like to see what you would do if you desperately needed a job and a fast food chain was the only place offering employment. I can't stand other people's bodily functions (and odors), but a nursing home (as an aid) was the only option for me at one time.
