Family discount...do single people often buy appliances? And why would single people be better off than families for there to be a need for a family discount? Lol

“Family” as in members of the lgbtq+ family, not just people who have a family.

I give plenty of discounts to other people, too.

... people who are single generally still have family members of one sort or another. Humans are generally not reproducing through parthenogenosis.

True, but the birthday discount only happens on the customer's birthday; not just because they have a birthday!
