Re: Gen: Has Borders Changed Their Educators' Discount Policy?

[Rena Deutsch <renadeutsch@WORLDNET.ATT.NET>]

As far as I know they haven't changed. And I just spoke to the education rep
at Borders today (we just opened a corporate account) and she invited me to
the next teacher appreciation day (this Wed., Dec 5), where the discount is
25% on everything in the store, according to her.
