As if we need further proof that redheaded folks are smooth, savvy and otherwise generally awesome, one flame-haired fellow in Scotland is taking advantage of his coif’s color by flashing a homemade “Ginger Discount Card” to save on tabs at the bar, restaurants and anywhere he can buy stuff.
It all started when his body made the card for his 30th birthday as a joke, reports The Scotsman, laminating an orange piece of paper bearing his photo and the words “Ginger Discount Card.”
Figuring he might as well roll with the gag, he started trying to use it at local retailers, and was surprised to find many would slash his bill.

Guess his left hand didn’t know what his right hand was doing. :p

What’s a “chancer”?A conniving opportunist. Think the Angel Martin character from the Rockford Files TV show. Or Charlie Crist.
To: FlJoePa
no. it’s a form of bartering. he offered a supposition and the business owner could either go along with it and provide a discount or not.
it’s not fraud either, as he is indeed... ginger.
honoring a supposed discount card is entirely up to the shop owner
