It is usually a slippery slope when we start making a lot of exceptions-----what about discounts for veterans? those with disabilities? mentally ill? Ukranian refugees? Red Sox fans (no , wait, that IS a disability  , no, I meant mental illness ). Sooner or later, it becomes like the IRS tax code. |
Pool attendants don't get to use the pool at all unless they pay full price for pool privileges.
I'm not talking about discounts for other demographics of the population. I'm talking about employee discounts for employees, whatever their status, making use of the property in which they work. If you're employed by the country club, you should get discounts on all of the things the paying customers get to pay for.
When I worked for Staples as a cashier, I didn't get a discount ONLY at things that were near the cash register. I got discounts on every item the store sold. When I worked for a supermarket that actually gave discounts to employees (that is amazingly rare), I got a discount on ALL store-brand products. Not just the products in the aisle I was assigned to work.
At the shoe store when I was a kid, I got a discount on ALL shoes and accessories sold in the store. Socks, laces, whatever customers could buy, I could buy too - at a discount.
That is the nature of customer-driven employment. The only exceptions would be pharmaceuticals, alcohol and tobacco, which have certain federal regulations.
