Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I wish I counted as a teacher. I mean, the people I teach formally are just one year out of high school, and I seem to be one of the only people in the math department who actually likes working with younger kids, so I'm tutoring a few middle-schoolers. And I know I get paid significantly less than most teachers. But no discount for me.

Aw, I'm sorry Hil.
I have no idea why people who teach at universities don't count as teachers. That makes no sense to me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dude, if I'm a teacher, you guys are getting shafted. My sister (university lecturer too) got her discount with two different cashiers, as did I.
Don't know when i get sprung. Maybe tomorrow afternoon. That'll give me two more doses.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Man I've been in three different bookstores with two different teachers who forgot their IDs and none of those clerks would give them discounts.

Those remind me of Jamie King's character on "The Class," who was a vegetable photographer. She made her living doing vegetable calendars. Or maybe it was fruit. Something like that.

Clearly I'm not as HAWT as you are. Once some guy took pity on me when I was shopping with Kat and Kat got to use her discount, but that was just the once.

Maybe we are less likely to be buying class supplies? Dunno.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Happy Autumnal Equinox! (or Vernal Equinox for those in the Southern Hemisphere.)
