is there a discount for veterants

[Jpanzer 1,265]

For what?

[jerry52 893]

For everything!

[Matthew Hopkins 1,065]

I'm retired military, and I ask for a military discount anytime I buy anything, stores, restaurants etc....usually discounts are  10 %. so far the only store I came across that doesn't give discounts to military is TARGET.

 

the thing is, unlike military retirees who have a ID card that proves you're a retired military, how is someone to know you are a bona fide vet? unless you plan on carrying your DD214 everywhere

Walked into Lowes not knowing they having a discount for all former and active military. Just told the guy we had to go home to get my DD214,and he said since we knew the form # no bother. Gave us the discount on the spot, saved over $125.

I give all military(current and retired), Leo, first responders a 10% discount. All I ask for is proof that you are. Asked the guy who lied that got arrested for stolen valor.

Wondering if the discount MAY also apply to retarded law enforcement or fire fighters?  Totally different job usually, but still serving the greater public need...over the needs of that individual.  Just wondering.  HB of CJ (old coot)

It was a Memorial Day sale.

I am not a veteran, and have no knowledge about this discount thing; but if you have coupons for food or anything then I am sure you can shop at a discounted price at any wallmart or stores.

[Maxwelhse 1,285]

is there a discount for veterants

 

If you're talking about being a forum contributor, yes there is, 100%... I'll pay your $5. Welcome to the forum and thank you for your service! PM me your email and I'll paypal you the $5.

 

For that matter... I'll pay $5 for every serviceman to become "contributors" up to the first 20 guys ($100). No proof required, just honor.

I worked for Home Depot for about 4 years when I was in school. If anyone ever asked for a service discount of any type (military, police, fire, emt, etc) it was pretty much automatic up to a $200 discount. Despite the fact that I'm a 6'4" hairy white man, I was a cashier (actually a "Head" cashier... wooohoo!) and I had a 10% discrepancy in my power up to a $200 discount, every day of the week. Over those 4 years I saw MANY store managers (or assistant managers) come and go (at least 20) and NEVER heard boo about giving discounts to loyal customers or serviceman.

 

One of our assistant managers would break-off for 15% as he was a combat injured vet (total hearing loss in one ear).

 

If you go someplace like that and are making a reasonably sized purchase (anything over $100) and they WON'T give you a discount, walk out and don't go back. HD loved vets and their policy, at the time (nearly 10 years ago), didn't require any proof. All that shit is marked up to the sky anyhow.
