Answered Are they still giving the lifetime discount?

[SoCalMama]

I know the 3 requirements, but I was thinking I had read on here that the lifetime discount was discontinued just a couple of years ago.

Nope, still giving it if you retire.

Ah ok
Friend at my old store had to retire for medical reasons at 54 1/2 years (minus 6 months) and over 25 years of service.
She was denied the benefit.

Should’ve LOAd for 6 mo and then come back one day and retired then. That sucks they didn’t just give it to her though

Yes, after over 25 years of service they should have cut her a break.

I think hours got them.

Her LOA expired and she is medically fragile, so she tried to come back but could not. She had to retire. It's just too bad that they did not give her the discount anyway.
