I only get free fruit (they order a box of fruit every day for the office).

My sister works at a cinema and gets free movies every week.

Does anyone get anything cool? If so, where do you work?

3-5%?

I get 5% for working at coles so coles, kmart, target, officeworks. people say its not worth it but the money will add up eventually.

I got my new card last Sunday :) hopefully this one won't be destroyed in a week - so cheap.

Where I work, we have asocial club that organises some awesome free lunches every few weeks, our chrissy parties are completely free and we get choccies and lollies at the counters all year round.
All staff meetings are accompanied by pizza, drinks and nibbles while we discuss
and our constant 15% off all stock!

so yea i think we have a few perks.

We get discounts between 10-20% depending on what the item is, as well as 25% off preferred dress. Also, we can get most electronics at or below cost price, which is cheap as!

5% is crap, if u spend 100 bucks, u save 5 dollars. No wonder why nearly all coles workers tax stuff like drinks and stuff.

Work at a print shop. Get free t shirt prints and general colour laser printing - and they cook my lunch everyday I'm there.

Well until yesterday I was a Safeway employee, getting 5% off at all Woolworths limited companies, ie booze at Dan Murphy's, Slavers, Big W etc. I haven't given my discount card back however :p

In my current job I get 25% off the wholesale price of really expensive makeup, free makeup occasionally, my own computer and a masseuse who comes in once a week :D

I work at woolies. So 5% discount :(

Also when we cut up magazines to return them to the supplier if I'm lucky I'll get some. And at night if we find 'damaged' lollies we'll eat them. But thats rare coz if the boss saw us we'd get in mega shite.
