Greetings Curious Scroller,
If you've never landed in this part of cyber space before, you have taken a hard, fast plunge into the fiery depths of work hell. RHU is dedicated to giving the service worker a voice. If you are an angry customer, a corporate suite, a homophobic race-hater, and you don't like skull masks or swear words, this blog isn't for you. Click away now, before your ears bleed and your eyes explode.
I'm Freddy, Crypt Keeper of Retail Hell Underground RHU -- a place for service slaves to have a voice, tell their story, support each other, or just have a chuckle about the insanity of working in the 10th Circle of Hell! I'm also the author of "Retail Hell," the funny memoir about life as a handbag sales associate at an upscale department store! The sequel, "Return To The Big Fancy," has just been released in hardcover and e-reader and is available wherever books are sold!
Heck, I don't even need the discount, I'm THRILLED when my server compliments my (barely) 3 year old on how well mannered and cute she is being. And she's thrilled when she manages to charm extras stickers, mints or balloons out of them, just for being cute and polite. And on
those (fortunately) rare occasions when we have to leave early because she is being a butt, I hope we are remembered for leaving and the tip, not for dragging around a Hellspawn.

That'll definitely get the attention of any parent. As a father of two, I'd be a regular patron there [assuming the food was OK.]

It's a nice thought, but can you imagine what happens when a bad parent gets wind of it?
"Are you saying my kid is bad? You need to give me a discount! Is it because we're [ethnicity/religion/gender]? Discrimination!"
Kid could be running around the tops of the booths and they'd still say it...

I agree with S there are way too many ways that can be abused. If it were more in the way of stickers or something that might be better. Either way it's better if it isn't company policy, and public knowledge.

I knew a place that did this informally, they did awesome business. They also gave little extras to consistently well-behaved kids (the odd piece of pie, Mickey Mouse shaped pancakes, that sort of thing).
