Nope and you really shouldn't use your friends discount- not very ethical. I assume your friend gets a discount due to being an employee someplace? His company employs him/her and not you- buy it like everyone else has to....at retail.
If you are a student beyond HS or an educator then you can get a discount directly from Apple!
Good luck.
These type of people are only jealous and resent you for being able to buy something at a cheaper price than them. Don't listen to him, unless you want to be a sucker and give corporate bigwigs more private jets.
Seriously, just use your cousins discount. It's not a big deal.
