I once had a supermarket cashier apply a senior citizen discount to my transaction without prompting. I mean, I’m not young but I’d like to think I don’t look like a senior citizen just yet.
In my later days of working at a supermarket, knowing I was going to imminently give my two weeks, I used to apply all sorts of discounts to people. “You get a senior discount”, “You get a student discount”, “You get bonus points”, “I can’t tell if these are the organic tomatoes so I’ll just charge for the cheaper ones”, etc.
On my last day, I loaded up the savings card of my last customer with bonus gas points equivalent of having spent $1000 in groceries (basically just $1 off per gallon of gas). Curious to know if I ended up causing a stir after leaving, I asked a friend of mine who still worked there if anyone made a fuss. No one ever noticed or complained.
The store probably loses an order of magnitude more each day just on the amount of expired food they throw away. Yet the corporate propaganda wants their employees to feel like they just robbed a bank if you so much as scan a coupon that the customer didn’t bring with them.
I spent my 20s next to a booze store where this old lady worked who LOVED me for some reason and would give me and anyone I was with the senior discount all the time. Then she got in trouble and had to stop. Then she stopped giving a fuck and did it anyway, despite me and my friends telling her not to.

I hope she’s still around and still a fuckin G
Discount though, nice. Hopefully you didn’t say anything :p.
Oh, no complaints from me.
