About to take part one of the A+ next week, (then eventually networking+ and sec+). Switching to IT from an unrelated industry so no practical experience yet. I’ve noticed a lot of people making their “I passed!” posts over on the CompTIA sub are already in IT related positions or just finishing IT degrees. Am I screwed? Taking a test is one thing, but does it actually translate to real-world benefits without other experience?

Part of me feels like calling back and leave a message (on my personal phone) explaining what happened is the right thing to do to help this guy protect his image, but another part of me knows they might complain (in my area there IS a pretty sizeable demographic of conservative types) and Starbucks would axe my ass immediately for contacting a customer outside of work. I could leave an incident report but not even sure whether that would be worth the time to type it out since it was just some dumb kids and nothing would happen as a result. Should I just forget about it or is it something worth making a “thing”?

Edit:
Worth noting that I’m white and it was the N word, so it’s not like it was meant to be directed at me personally, it was clearly said just to be “funny”.
