I guess I was one of the lucky few that started with a golden ticket, to be honest, I don't remember; however, I have always gotten a discount on SD items costing more than 10 SD and on coin items. I was dismayed to find on visiting the store today that there were no more discounts on any items. I'd appreciate it if a mod can weigh in on whether this is a permanent change, or just another one of the never-ending bugs this game is riddled with.
