I bet they’ve updated this since I worked there a million years ago, but it used to be that Barnes & Noble employees got 50% off cafe items with their employee code, which, get this, was:
your social security number (lol)
valid at any cafe in any B&N in USA
not checked against any kind of database, so any number like 111111111 would work
I used this to get half off cafe for years at random B&N’s after I’d been fired, but eventually I started feeling bad for them and any bookstore just trying to survive.
Also a bonus nugget of info: the discounted books by the checkout stand were the biggest money makers for the store. They buy that crap for pennies and even at 20-50% off, were insanely profitable.
