i completely agree with this, and i DON'T have a card either, nor do i qualify for one at the moment. frankly, MAC prices aren't that bad as it is, especially compared to other high-end cosmetics companies, and the discount is something meant to honor people within the profession. its like trying to use your friends' employee discount, which at most retail stores that i've worked at, is grounds for termination. when i went to the LA pro store, there was a lady standing outside waving her card around, offering to buy stuff for a slight fee, until the manager came out and "asked to speak with her". i actually thought it was semi-amusing.
