"I want to speak to somebody with a degree," she declares.
Sammi, who is brilliant with customers, tries her best but the lady is determined.
"Have you got a degree? No. I want to talk to somebody with a degree."
Luckily, Maybelle has a degree in Big Hulking Men from the University of Hull Kingston Rovers so she was able to mollify the customer by saying: "I have a degree, do you want to talk to me?"

We all make mistakes.

Maybelle's academic pedigree clearly points up the pointlessness of education. My qualifications wouldn't help persuade me to mollify this silly, stuck-up lady instead of passing on her address to a known burgler.
your customer needs to be admitted to the Gimcrack
Maybelle's Anthropology course sounds a bit more intersting than mine was..
Gadjo: it's good to spend years of your life getting a piece of paper so that you can talk to this sort.
nursemyra: indeed, and behind the screens at that!
Macy: she gets quite smug about it some days.
