HQ Employee Store

[Luis]

Why is the additional 40% discount given?

lol - I don't know, I've been to Fossil's HQ and saw them selling watches to employees for $25 that they sell at $200 retail... so my gag reflex has already been trained...

Damn... i need to send my wife to Fossil's HQ then... she could benefit from it, as will I.

It'd be faster just to give 70% off up front - same result...

In the state of Texas, we have Texas state troopers which covers the entire state (primarily highways). Sheriff's department which covers county areas. Police department like Houston p.d. that covers the city. Constables that I think deals with civil matters. (I might be missing something) those are considered law enforcement agencies. Sworn in, licensed by the state (Texas Commission on Law Enforcement) etc.

Security officers are a privately owned companies. Licensed to carry a weapon and are allowed to arrest.
Some of the differences between LEO and security officer is the security officers are allowed to enforce "house rules" of a private establishment. LEO can not. Security officers are not allowed to direct traffic, LEO can. But dig this, an assault to security officer is considered a State Jail Felony.

Actually it was an employees-only sidewalk sale to get rid of some extra stock; they don't run it all the time. I don't know what their normal employee discount is...

Yea, the guy confused me. It was mind bottling. Like when your mind is trapped in a bottle. Thanks for the calculation. Yup 70%.

If he said same discount as employees, then they get 70% off? Or it varies?

Yeah, state troopers are in the Highway Patrol which is part of the Department of Public Safety (DPS).

There's also the TABC (Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission), whose agents are armed, badged, fully empowered police officers with state-wide jurisdiction who can make arrests for any offense.
