  Pizza place worker here. I agree
context: Depending on the topic, and the comment made, it does speak to the credibility of the poster. Someone claiming to be a professional in the area of discussion carries a bit more weigh than someone with no background or training in it.
  I would value a person's opinion who's working at Wal-Mart currently, for example, over someone that has never worked there, or any similar store, within reason. 
  The thing is, anyone can claim anything tho, as it is still the internet. I've seen ppl claim to be in a certain profession that I'm in, post comments that are so far off the fundamentals that I'm sure they've never worked, in any capacity, in my field. >

  As a professional fat redditor.... >
  
  This seems anti-intellectual. It makes sense to want to know/prefer the opinion of experts in a subject. If I want legal advice I want a lawyer telling it to me lol not a random guy. >
  
  Ah you must be new here.  I’d like to welcome you to Reddit.  Where you can find unknowledgeable neck beards in their mothers basement claiming to be experts in fields they no nothing about.  Trust me…..but IANAL. >
  
  I like the context of whether this is supposedly coming from someone with first hand experience. From there I can judge the extent which I believe them based on the comment. I’ve mentioned my credentials when it’s relevant, but I don’t really expect deference. After all, I work in a profession where everyone thinks they know my subject matter better than I do anyway. >
  
  Sitting in a university lecture room on so and so subject matter.   
  Suddenly someone asks a question:
  "Well as a mother....."
