Our Great Snootocracy
(A customer in his 70s starts this conversation as I’m serving his food.)
Customer: “So, how far along in college are you?”
Me: “I actually already graduated.”
Customer: “Are you sure? You look too young to have finished college.”
Me: “I get that all the time. Yes, I graduated early, last semester.”
Customer: “And you didn’t go to grad school? All you young people are lacking ambition! As soon as you finish school you’re content with taking some dead-end job!”
Me: “Actually sir, I really wanted to go to law school, but I couldn’t pull the funds together.”
Customer: “Oh, so you’re poor? Then you stay working here. I don’t want people like you contaminating America’s fine businesses!”
