Home Depot no longer offering military disount?

[funkymonkey1111]

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

Has anyone else experienced this?

Shortly before Christmas, I was at the Home Depot over by Park Meadows, making a purchase. I pulled out my military ID, and was informed that they no longer give military discounts "except around the holidays." Nobody could tell me when this was enacted, or anything more specific than that.

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.
