The Scam

Alright, here’s the scene: you’re out with the fam, menu’s on the table, and instead of Dad stepping up, Mom slides it to their teenage kid with a sly grin. Why? ‘Cause student discounts are where it’s at, and with some places knocking 50% off, you’d be crazy not to, right? There even stories of their kids buying vape pens for parents! But hold up—is it cool for parents to pull this move, or is it a little… dodgy?

Morals or Hustle?

Look, times are tough, and parents gotta save where they can. But c’mon, these discounts are meant for the kids, the ones who actually hit the books (or skip class—no judgment). Is it genius parenting or straight-up gaming the system? You tell us! Some say it’s just being smart, others say it’s kinda shady. Should parents really be playing the student card when they’re just chillin’ at the table with full-time jobs? Feels like a grey zone, right?

Legal? Sure. Sketchy? Maybe.

No laws broken here. No one’s asking for a student ID when your teen rolls up to order, and restaurants probably aren’t mad about it. More customers, more money, right? But just ‘cause you can doesn’t always mean you should. I mean, where’s the line between being savvy and low-key exploiting a loophole?

What You Think?

So, what’s the verdict? Is this just clever hustlin’ or kinda shady? Is it like using your buddy’s Netflix login, or are we crossing some ethical line here? Let us know your take! Should restaurants crack down, or should we let parents milk this student deal hustle while they can?
