I just started working at Linens-n-Things on Monday. The employees there get a 25% discount. I am tempted by WAY too much stuff there. I have a serious weakness for good sheets and kitchen crap.

Laurend that is me and books, I joke with my hubby all the time that I am gonna start working part time at Barnes and Noble. Of course I would probably be fired with in the week cause all I was doing was reading.

Sweet, I'd go nuts too. I go to BB&B just for the "Beyond" hah. I go crazy in those stores, so I try to avoid them.

My cousin works at dillard's and the employee discount only applies if they use a dillard's credit card. How messed up is that??

That sucks! So far, I'm kind of enjoying this job, because it sure isn't rocket science (although the cash registers (point of sale system) are a lot more complicated than I thought they would be - but not too bad once you get used to them. I'm probably going to be working mostly in the housewares section, helping customers, rearranging stuff, and making sure that everything gets replenished. I did get to train on the registers yesterday, which was pretty interesting. The discount is really what decided it for me, though. I can get ALL my Christmas shopping done early this year! Who knows, I may buy my dad the gas grill he's been wanting and give it to him for his birthday (or at least, buy it and then have my mom and brother split the cost with me).

Oh man, I would be spending ALL my pay there, I wouldn't be able to help myself..... so does the discount extend to friends? :cry_smile:

My husband works at Woolworths grocery store, and we get 5% off, but thats no where near as fun!

Nope, only the employee, their spouse, and their kids, but I'd be willing to buy for someone and then get reimbursed!

I have worked at Old Navy for 7 years and our discount is 20% off there and then we get 30% off at GAP and Banana Republic. We'll needless to say I shop TOO much, we also get our discount off of sale and clearance, so yes it's bad bad bad at times because I tend to buy stuff I dont need and only becasue it was a GOOD price. My DH gets sooo mad at me. when we moved last year to our new house there were bags of brand new with tags clothes in the garage and office , closets, under the bed.. yes, I used to shop way too much.... I am better lately......
