Employee discounts are such a blessing, especially when you're surrounded by cute clothes all day but you're still bawlin' on a budget. And even if you work in a store that may not have anything you want, check out what retail group owns the store and see if you have a discount at other shops they might own.

3. Getting to Socialize With So Many People
