Home Depot no longer offering military disount?

[TheGrey]

Registered with them two different times on the computer in two different Home Depots- and that was a real pain in the ass; their system seems to be constantly screwed up. Each time, the info was 'lost' or simply wasn't 'in the computer'. I value my privacy, and this makes me quite twitchy.

I've got my military ID on me at all times, and I'm beginning to see some real inconsistencies with this HD, as to whether the discount is honored or not. I'm glad to hear that other HDs are honoring it; I'm thinking it's simply time to start going to Lowe's instead.

Home Depot makes a point of giving vets and active duty military jobs and at least in the past has donated more to conservative political candidates than liberals. I shop at Lowe's more often but don't go along with the "screw HD" or calling them anti-American. Companies typically implement these policies due to insurance and liabilities, not because they're anti-American or even anti-2A.

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

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.
