My dad loves the discount.
Its just a habit, he could care less about the actual amount.

A lot of them just assume that everywhere bends over backwards for them. It's incredibly obnoxious. Source: was a bartender for a decade
Wait, people asked for a vet discount... at a bar?
I can see a restaurant, but a bar!?

Y'know, I understand where you're coming from, but my dad did his time in the military, including a stint in Vietnam. He's 81 now, and I don't see the harm in giving him a little bit off of a bill for his service. He's not obnoxious about it, but will sometimes ask, and take it if it's available. If not, no big deal.
I thought it was a joke, but people really are butthurt about vets.
History just loves to repeat itself.

Did your partner eat Iraqi children or Afghan children? Which one tasted his favorite?
Oh look, a coward.

If you read through my post history you would likely edit "coward" to something else more fitting...

You can’t get your discount without going through the ID me website anywhere corporate nowadays anyway… it doesn’t work nor have human contact points, it’s impossible for older veterans to use and it says half of us don’t even exist so basically military discounts have become enshitified as well . It does however take millions of dollars from the government in subsidies to ID me to obstruct Our discounts and your unemployment and disability benefits. We’re both working class and in this together whether you give me my 10% off on hardware or not.

Ah, the good ol' crab bucket. Fuck X group because they got some scraps.

Serious question - in places where they offer military or veteran discount how do you check? Do you ask them to show some relevant id?
The big box hardware stores, Home Depot and Lowe’s have sort of set the standard. There are a few ID cards that they accept as proof.
At the end of the day it is up to each store how they handle it.

More like fuck X group because they are paid murderers that invade other countries and makes every life they interact with worse.

Tell me why your father should be rewarded for when they performed the most horrible actions on other humans that anyone can think of?
If anything, they should pay more, and the money should go to all the families they have destroyed.

You get pissed at senior discounts too?
I really don't get why a senior ex-military has better benefits than a normal senior. One is a benefit everyone applies and another is a benefit that a specific subset applies, and it's not like they do things that are more important than those that work everyday in the country to keep it running.
A kid spends 5 years in military, lifetime discounts. A teacher spends 5 years teaching, lifetime debt. I really don't get the point.

The military is majority support roles like mechanic, cook, medic, signaler, padre, admin, logistics. There's combat roles like infantry, artillery, combat engineer and armored and then the rest are people supporting them. Even in the combat roles it's still pretty rare to be "murdering". Americans are a bit different but a lot of militaries have rules of engagement. It's not indiscriminate killing. It's defending your fellow soldier, it's protecting your base. They're just people trying to do a job like any other.

I'm so glad I gave all of my 20s to get shot at on the other side of the world in a desert, and now live with crippling PTSD, anxiety, and gastrointestinal disorders. But really, it's all worthwhile because I get 10% off at the Gap.

I know you got paid to be there, but still. A country without a military, even in times of “peace”, is a scary thing. Especially given the direction the world is heading these days… sure you sat behind a desk but who knows what you may have been needed to do if called upon in a worst case scenario, and so for that I say thank you for your service

Idea for any leftist bakeries out there: charge military members even more, veterans even more still. Refuse to make them cake! Make a big deal about it. Enjoy your free national media attention. Send me a little cut.
