Discounts for employees?

For those of who work at a clothing store, what how much discount do you get? And please state what store you work for. Thank you!

I heard Forever 21 gets 10% off.

When I was at Gap, I got a 50% discount.

Working for Gap gets you discounts at Old Navy, Banana Republic, and Piper Lime too, but the way the company "organized" what sorts of discounts were given on specific merchandise (and I mean specific like, skirts to outwear to discount to accessories) to who got it: you, your mom, your child, your spouse, etc.

It was crazy stupid, so I merely treated myself to a 100% discount every now and then.

I worked VERY briefly at Banana Republic (sort of a long story) . 50% off 6 items a month excluding leather goods and handbags. 30% off everything else all the time including Gap and Old Navy. The 30% can be added on top of sales, so if there was a sale where you get 30% off something, you can make it 60%. Then there's a 'special' list that includes things like leather goods that you can purchase at it was either 50% or 60% (can't remember) that was given to you once per season.

I only ever bought 3 things there

as far as i know, there's no actual "discout" per se for Vuitton SAs. wasn't it that the generally SAs get oportunities to buy a few selected articles at a lower price?

though i also heard that the bi-annual sample sales at Vuitton in NYC are freakin crazy price wise. like, REALLY cheap stuff.

I work at Gucci and I get 30% off sunglasses, 50% off bags, jewelery, small leather goods and RTW, and 62.5% of timepieces (3 per year I think). Gucci is crap though so I never buy anything.

when i worked at express as an assistant manager, we got 35% off everything (including sale) and at the beginning of each season we could buy certain pieces at 50% off (so we would wear them)...
we also got discounts at victoria's secret, structure/express men, and bath & body works...

macy's was 30%, but you have to get a macy's card that everything is charged to...

i think the gap was similar to what yourbestfriend said: 30% off everything at your store, plus banana and old navy...

a friend of mine worked at j.crew, and their setup was similar to express...
30% off everything, plus special 50% off days...

I don't work there but I read it on some other forums and well apparently they get 30% off regular permanent line, and you have to wait min 6 months for all newly released bags.

never heard about sample sales. I thought they never did any!!
