I just got an educator discount on… BBQ rub?!

So I was running low on two of my most favorite commercial rubs, Meat Church’s Holy Cow and Holy Voodoo, so I stopped by Academy on the way home and picked them up.

While standing in line to check out, I noticed they were running a 10% off for “teachers and students” promotion, clearly meant for K-12.

As I was checking out, the cashier noticed my university ID. “Are you a teacher?” he asked. “I teach graduate students,” I replied, fully intending to communicate I am not a K-12 teacher.

He immediately gave me the discount.

I’m not going to complain, but BBQ rub has to be the oddest item for which I’ve ever gotten an education discount.

Oh man, couple that discount with your overly paid teaching position (J/K), and you're gonna be in a new tax bracket next year. :-)

Cool discount! Glad they gave it to you.

You deserve it! My daughter is finishing up her first year of student teaching and will become a 1st grade teacher on her own next fall…. Regardless of age group, thank you to all who are involved with educating!

I’ll take a discount anyway I can get it.
