This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Shops that offer student discount must also provide military discount.
More details
I believe that any shop/business that offers students discount on product should by law have to offer serving military personnel the same offer.
Whereas I understand the financial burden that students are under day to day and that discounts are there to help them, I feel the role that the armed forces provide and the risks that alot of personnel undertake on a daily basis should be worthy of more recognition on a national scale.
It shouldn't be the case that a student can go into a shop and get for example 15% discount, just because they are studying and in financial difficulty when serving members risking their lives on operations can't.
Where there is a student discount offered, there should always be a military discount.
