Their Assumptions That Retail Workers Are Stupid Are Wilde

I work as a cashier at a grocery store. I have one degree and am in the middle of another; the bulk of my coworkers either have a degree or are working on one.

A snotty customer makes a comment about Oscar Wilde, but then adds:

Customer: “But you wouldn’t know who that is.”

Me: “The Importance of Being Earnest? The Picture of Dorian Gray? Known for his witty one-liners? Yeah, I’ve heard of him.”

The customer shut up quickly and went about his business.
