Many Aggies are not taking
full advantage of discounts of
fered to them by local mer
chants through the People
Book or special student dis
counts the stores offer.
Seventy Five local merchants
offer one-time, discounted cou
pons in the “People Book,” giv
ing 10-50 percent off on store
merchandise. About 35,000
“People Books” are printed and
distributed each semester, the
majority given out in the Me
morial Student Center.
Merchants say few of these
coupons are redeemed even
though a large number of Ag
gies shop at the stores offering
the discounts. Most of the cou
pons are forgotten — left in the
drawer at home when pur
chases are made.
Some store owners give Ag
gies extra discounts valid with a
Texas A&M I.D. only because
Aggies are their largest source
of income.

Bryan-College Station, has been
offering Aggies discounts for
more than seven years. He says
the 15 percent discount on jew
elry sales he offers helps stu
dents who have limited funds
while in college.
“This is an ‘Aggie’s town’ and
someone has to help them out,”
Douglas said.
Sometimes discounts are
given as an extra incentive to
help the customer in deciding
to make a purchase.
been shopping for years at par
ticular stores. When discounts
are offered, merchants want to
offer discounts to everyone.
A spokesman for Wyatt’s
Sporting Goods says that dis
counts discriminate against the
town people. Wyatt’s manager
Rick Gorzyzki said that the store
merchandise is not completely
marked up to the full retail va
lue, allowing the lowest price
available to everyone.
At one bridal shop in Bryan-
College Station, the manager
said a 10 percent discount is of
fered on dresses only as a last
resort in making a sale. If the
customer is sure about buying a
dress, then the discount is not
mentioned because of competi
tion with other bridal shops.
Wyatt’s offers a 10 percent
discount in the People Book but
Gorzyzki said that only a few
Aggies bring in the coupons for
their discount, so additional dis
counts are not needed.

But if the salesperson can tell
the customer is not willing to
pay the retail price, then the
discount is offered, she said.
The 10 percent discount is
really an extra edge when buy
ing a dress for $600 and getting
$60 off, more than buying a
dress for $140 and getting $14
off, she said.
Not all merchants are in fa
vor of 10-15 percent discount
only to Aggies. Student dis
counts are thought to be unfair
to regular customers who have
Discount stores such as Sas

Auns offering store- wide, dis
counted merchandise say that if
students won’t buy the mer
chandise at sale price, then why
should additional discounts be
offered to students only.
David Scarmardo, owner of
Bre’ Auns, said he looks for
good buys so he can pass on the
savings to the customer, leaving
no need for a student discount.
“Since there’s high competi
tion in women’s apparel,” Scar
mardo said, “you could dis
count yourself right out of the
business if you offered to many
discounts.”
