Welcome to the Canadian experience.
In Vancouver I used to buy my falafel from an inorganic chem PhD.
I believe the 'cashier' position at Mickey D's is responsible for the cash reporting and daily control of a stores cash flow. The folks who ring up the sales and bag your McFishie are not cashiers in the same sense.
In this case think of the position as the store bookkeeper.
But your point is well taken. The entire floor staff of my favorite local restaurant has college all but the one currently going to college PT have degrees.
i bet you somehow think you're smarter than that inorganic chem PhD, don't ya?
but apparently spelling "bachelor's degree" is too difficult for our educational system.
Back in 2011, McDonald's in Williston, ND was paying $15/hour as a starting wage. That's teacher-type money!

Welcome to the left's fantasy. Stay in school until middle age, then if you're lucky you can work a job that means nothing to you and pay taxes for a few years before you retire and collect some form of government welfrare, which the government first taxes again and then inflates away the value of whatever remains while giving you doctored-up CPI statistics as a substitute for the goods and services you wanted to buy. Who needs personal happiness when we can have 'shared sacrifice?'

Who do you mean by "our"?
Nobody is "fliping" burgers at McDonalds anymore. Double-sided grill. It's all the rage.
WTF kind of comment was that?
A Sudanese former law professor also worked in that same food court.
There have been highly-educated people in these types of positions in Canada for decades. I remember working with several PhD/MSc geologists out west, to search for mineral samples in vials of sand from the arctic, for almost nothing--alongside completely uneducated high-school dropouts, doing the same job for the same wage.
Here's an example of the type of people they were working alongside: one girl actually believed that "Tiger's Milk" (TM) actually WAS tiger's milk.
There are many immigrants in Canada who have valuable education and experience that is impossible for them to apply in Canada. Sure, some of them come from crap systems and know essentially nothing about anything, but some of them were highly knowledgeable, and even skilled...and totally underutilized and undervalued in the Canadian economy.
The US has gone in the same direction. It was a long time ago that a bachelor's was required for any job in Canada, apart from one that was obtained through nepotism, or work with a temp agency.
Congratulations!
