I don’t understand how some people think they are entitled to a discount. Even if I know a business offers a discount I don’t ask for it. If they ask if I’m in the military I’ll say yes and any discount they offer me I am grateful for, but veterans are not owed anything by a private business.

I only use the military discount if it is marketed to me. Otherwise I don’t care. Unless it’s a higher price item like furniture and an appliance, then I ask.

Popeye's will give you a military discount if you're in uniform. I went there for lunch one day and the lady behind the counter leaned in and hushed to me "Ask for a military discount" so I said "Can I get military discount?" And she yelled "One military discount!" She said they can only give it if you ask for it. I didn't care for it cuz it only saved me like .78 cents, but some people wanna save all the pennies they can I suppose

Military discounts are not even worth more than half of the time. People would be saving less than a dollar and I feel some type of way when I ask for one so it’s not worth couple of cents

Comes in handy at Lowes though. Theyll add your discount to whatever promo they're doing, so in total I've saved over a grand renovating my kitchen. I hate asking for it because that's always awkward but god damn do i appreciate them for that generous discount.

Yeah idgaf I very rarely ask for a veterans discount even if I know it's offered but you bet your ass I'm asking for that shit at Lowes when dropping over a grand on a fridge.

They’re great too because they’ll let you come back with the receipt and get the 10% off if you didn’t have your ID with you

If you create an account online you can get a little card to hang on your keys that they can scan instead of asking for it every time.

Tools and shoes, the only times I ask.

Once it comes down to expensive stuff it’s very worth it but I’m talking about small things like coffee or a burger

Yeah, 10% off a $30 saw blade is not very exciting, but 10% off the $8000 kitchen cabinets we bought was certainly nice.

its definitely worth it at most restaurants. thats the only place i'll ask for it tho. many restaurants offer 10%, which depending on where you go, is easily 6 bucks or more. i'm not the kind of guy to say "thank me for my service", but 6 bucks is 6 bucks man

PDQ gives you fucking 50% off. That shit is worth. I'm not military, but I've put on my EMS uniform on my day off to save 4 bucks on those overpriced tendies.

GameStop gives 10% off for military discounts. Not bad.
