Here's a pretty good perk

[Mark Padgett]

One of the better rec leagues I work has a perk for the refs. We get a pass to shop at the Nike employee store. Fortunately for me, it's located only about 15 minutes from my house. The pass just got emailed to me today. We can only use it once and only on certain days, but there's no limit on what we can buy.

Hey - maybe I can get a pair of blown out AirMax shoes!

BTW - they don't allow you to come into the store wearing clothes which have a Nike competitors logo or name on it.

I might have a problem, though. In order to get in, you have to tell them you are on the list from that rec organization, show your pass and show matching photo ID. Just my luck if they're hooked up to America's Most Wanted!
