Steve P wrote:Actually a pretty common promotion in the retail world. The "major outdoor retailer" I work for has a "hometown heroes" weekend (I think it is) once per quarter. On that weekend local, state and federal "heroes" (police, EMT, firemen, etc, etc) as well as active and retired military get "employee pricing". Ya'll come on in and get that new 9mm you've been longing for

I certainly agree with that but you know as well as I do that the ones you mentioned in your 1st paragraph who are making the 6 figures are the ones that are going to be taking advantage of this promotion! The worker bees don't have time to partake. That's why I think it's kind of a bad image to create for the general public since the people for Metro government who will be taking advantage of it are better off than most citizens who can't take advantage of the promotion.
