"Every little helps"

Shopping in St Andrews the other day when a woman in a shop (can't remember the name of it)came up to us and asked are you students, we replied yes and then she said use this voucher the next time you purchase something from us and get 5% off. 5% is that it? Honestly why bother? The whole point of student discount is to save us some money and make items of a ridiculous price more affordable but 5% is hardly going to save you much. I don't think there was anything in the shop cheaper than £40 which means i would save £2, i'm hardly going to survive through the week knowing i've a whole £2 extra to spend. A necklace from this shop cost £90 how can you justify this when it was made out of beads which probably cost a couple of pence each to make and they think there saving us money by giving us 5% off, eh no i don't think so.

According to Tesco "every little helps" and of course it does but a measly 5% off an item priced £90 would mean you were saving £4.50 you'd be better of not buying it in the first place and saving the whole £90 than a mere £4.50. Student discount is shops is generally 10% which in most cases is a bit tight but 5% come on, why bother.
