Reply #248: No this is a discount when you present a piece of paper

[KurtNYC]

basically a coupon. Other coupons are distributed in ways that exclude people. People who don't read newspapers with the coupons in them for example.

I think we disagree about what a "discount" constitutes. I think it does not lower the price for everyone and then "discriminate" against those without it. Rather, it incentivizes people who receive the coupon to become customers. When they redeem the coupon, the store makes less profit on that transaction in the hope that they can bring these customers back and have them pay full price. I fail to see how that has any effect on people who are either willing or not willing to pay the regular retail price.

If someone went to this store wearing a yamulke or sihk headwrap, presented a church program and then were denied the discount, THAT would be discrimination.
