Home Depot no longer offering military disount?

Honestly this and the anti second amendment thread on homedepot sound like employees of home depot making corporate decisions without approval.

^^^^yep, I was going to say the same thing, I went in last week and they gave me my normal discount

Did a manager say no discount? My mom still gets a discount on account of my dad being in the Navy and I was with her multiple times between thanksgiving and Christmas where the discount was given

The second week of January, I stopped in to see if it was a fluke, and the clerk gave me a military discount.

Yesterday, I stopped in and was informed again that there was no discount.

What the hell?

The first time it happened, the cashier called someone over to verify it. While we were waiting, another cashier drifted over and suggested that my cashier try to put it in manually. The person summoned to verify it stated that 'they' stopped giving the discount except for holidays.

I don't know. It could be cashiers simply making stuff up o the fly; as I said, I was able to get a discount after this example.

The inconsistencies make little sense. I wonder if it's a problem with this specific store.

Thank you for your service and screw HD and all of their crummy anti American practices. I get better help at Ace anyway.

Ah! No, I was not in harm's way (save for when the Turks were rioting.) I am a Cold War vet, and the closest I got to combat was packing up pallets for our troops for Operation Desert Shield. I am also not a 'good sir'- I was enlisted, and worked for a living!
