    Free breakfast or lunch every day I work at the restaurant, and incredibly discounted Fuji bikes from the bike rental. I got a $400 bike for $100. It was used as a rental bike, but still in almost mint-condition.

    Free movies Sunday through Thursday, getting to watch or listen to whatever I like while I'm working, and talking to some really awesome customers. And money, of course.

    I work at a video store. :XD

    I help at a Real Estate office a few times a week.
    its not a huge perk or anything, and could happen anywhere- but its really hot w/ summer being around and i'm really down south here, so.... the office is WAY air conditioned and it rocks. i practically dont want to leave.

    though my sista works at Kohls [right across from my office, actually, haha] and she knows when ALL the sales will be around, even the ones not really put around, plus an extra 20% always. pretty sweet

    I work in a discount book store, so all the books are super cheap (AU$5). It's horrible in the most awesome way.

    The customers.
    I work at starbucks, and the customers are my favorite (and least favorite) part of my day. I have all these cool moments where I actually connect with them. It's amazing. (For example, one of our regulars came to see us two days after her granddaughter was born, and showed us pictures. We all feel like casual friends of hers when we're working.)

    It's never slow or boring, there's always something to do. It makes my days go quickly.

    Talking about the weather. I seem well informed if I talk to someone weather obsessive. :con:

    I work at KFC. Snap!

    I think I've already posted here [I made the thread...] well lately I've been working lots of shifts so I'm getting paid a lot more.

    22.5% discount, even my wages aren't appealing anymore. Facepalm

    The main perk of my day is when someone says, "Thank you for your help!" instead of grunting thanks.
    Or the sweet old ladies that come in and have a chat while you cash up for them.
    When customers talk to you, it's really nice and it brightens your day.
    If every customer was like that, I'd love working. I don't think they realize how much I appreciate a friendly smile and a small conversation.

    -I know eventually I'll gain the respect I deserve, and will get to travel the world.
    -I'm guaranteed a paycheck on the 1st and 15th of every month.
    -I'm the only person of my rank that holds a master key to my building, and the only person of my rank that is in a partial supervisor position.
    -My supervisors love me because I'm so reliable, so they hook me up. ie: Letting me off early, letting me sit and BS sometimes.

    The perks of my old job were nice:
    1. I got to see my love-intrest *now my boyfriend*
    2. I got to eat great food for lunch! *prime rib, honey baked ham, fried chicken, dinner rolls*
    3. I made more than the waitresses with only a few things to do.
    4. I got the longest hours.

    I work for my daddy, so I get to watch Hulu in his office while I work. Cute

    I get to run errands, and go to the library on my break. My dad own an automotive repair/tire shop, so I get to hang out with the mechanics. We watch LOTS of YouTube videos. XD

    Both my brothers and one of my good guy friends work for my dad too, so we always have a party going on. tehe
