It does make me feel ashamed when people I've worked with try to pull this stunt, thinking they deserve better treatment or a reduction in price from a family owned small business. Despite the fact they've stayed in the UK working behind a desk.
There's plenty of other occupations who contribute just
as much to society, who we could not do without. Yet they don't walk around in uniform just to get special treatment.
I never ask for discount because
I don't think I've done anything special. I'd feel embarrassed to cash-in on the bravery of others.
Ah, come on techie, he only wanted to buy a packet of cigarettes.
