do you get any cool discounts?

[Maverick]

I have friends who work for airlines and get tickets for insanely cheap (go to japan for $80). Other friends who work for car companies and can get cars cheap. Some get free internet access because they work for an ISP, etc. I however have no cool discounts

I work for Fiserv, so once in a while one of our clients swings something cool our way. (At the moment I believe we get 40% off anything at See's Candy, and I get programming books and MS software now and then) It would be cool if some of our other clients would hook it up though. (like Chateau Ste. Michelle )

My dad's retired from Ford so I get a nice discount on Ford/Lincoln/Mercury/Jaguar/Volvo/Mazda (no discount on Aston Martin though . Not that I could afford it even with a discount)

I work for walmart so I get 10% off everything but food at every walmart in the country. It's not great but I do save money.

I work in the corp. office of a restaurant company and I get half off food (everything except alcohol), up to $100 free a month.
We have 23 restaurants, including "family" restaurants as well as extremely expensive ones, so it's a nice perk.
People that have been here a long time get food and alcohol totally free (with monthly limits, of course).

I work in a hospital, and I get a 21% discount on Sprint cellular service.

 

[slydecix]

I work co-op for an automotive supplier in southeast michigan... besides the car discounts, I get 5% off at Barnes and Noble, Dell deals (although not that great)... and today I found out that I get a discount at the local CompUSA!

 

Because I order large amounts of auto parts on a daily basis, I recieve anywhere from 20% to 55% off on most parts.

Heh, that's ironic since you're supposed to turn off your cell phone in the hospital.

And her! It's a fat women's clothing store and she weighs 145, so everything is too big for her. It was much better when she worked at Old Navy. My whole wardrobe is Old Navy.

free internet from college and the school where I work (I dont use either except the mail, cus I have cable), free training and free online courses (I get to choose the training, but none of it was very useful so far, frontpage 2000) I used to get free movie rentals and discounts on food when I worked for a grocery store/video store. Not to mention I used to "modify" my late fees if I ever had any... oh yeah I get free cables from my job now too
