Cosign!

I so know that feeling. Went out this weekend because a local store was having a weekend for public servants. Anyone who was a teacher, firefigher, police officer, nurse, etc. who showed their ID received some great perks: two free deluxe gift wraps, a hospitality room, two $10gift checks for after Christmas purchases, 20% off purchases (10% off home items) except for the standard exclusions which was in really small print at the bottom.

One thing that is interesting..another retailer does a "charity sale" about twice a year where shopping is from 6am to 9am and the tickets are sold by local groups who are fundraising. They usually are about $5 for the privilege to come in and shop early. These days they do allow the % to be taken off Fine Fragances, Cosmetics, and most items not normally discounted.
