Did you have a barcode the instant you were hired? Because if you didn't then this is just making up for that lost time in the beginning before you got one of your paychecks/barcodes.

i think i got a barcode with my first check, which would've been a week after i started, but in theory i could've gotten my discount before then i think... but i didn't need it then since the store wasn't open and i could have all the free drinks i wanted.

It is not shady. And BN is a multi billion dollar company, I'm sure. They can handle it. I still use my marshalls discount and that was definately years ago.
