The standard 10% which is enough to offset sales tax, and a little bit more.

Regional chain, pretty much like Home Depot or Lowe's.

If I need to spend that much, I'll just space it out laugh out loud
I don't expect more than a 10% employee discount anywhere these days.
Oh man. drool for you!!

Some clothing stores offer a generous discount - like 45%, but you also have to dress head to toe in their gear. Greedy

I'm at home today. Had a pack of peanut butter crackers, and they didn't put a dent in it.
It's crazy, I only had one cup of coffee this morning, I shouldn't be this hungry.
Oohh then you could cook or eat everything! Eat

I'm going to speak with my would-be manager and then go in some time next week to get to know everyone. He asked me how soon I could start and wants to get me an offer letter by the 18th. He all but said "you're hired". Nothing is written in stone, but it's very promising.

People sharing their discounts with others is considered theft. Maybe that's what they mean?

My mom got one of those gadgets that measures everything- along with a self reporting food diary- she's lost 10 lbs so far... It creates a real accountability system. Her biggest calorie burn days are the ones she goes shopping with me-- she takes Tons of steps Roll

We spent tens of thousands of dollars to have a professional come in and evaluate the department (hundred of people) and suggest what we need to do to change. After months of evaluation she told us all everything that I had put in a presentation to my boss before the professional ever came in. After her presentation I told him I wanted to take the reigns and make it happen. He thanked me. That was 6 months ago, and he's decided to do nothing about my/her suggestions. Sadwalk
Lol.. If I had no honor, I'd totally get a job like that.
The Highly Paid Consultant.
He comes in, asks everyone that works there what the solution is, writes it up, gives it to Boss and collects his fee. laugh out loud I can't tell you how many times I've seen stuff like this happen.. Management gets all excited this high priced outsider is going to come in and give great insight laugh out loud
