    Today I was at AutoZone getting some parts for the daily. I'm up at the register and the guy in front of me pulls out his ID and asked military discount? Now I go to this place cause I don't have to deal with a bunch of dumb asses and never thunk to ask it..... I of course pulled my ID and followed suit. I didn't know that but if I had then they would have gotten more of my business as other known military discounting businesses I prefer to frequent. I never ask but it's is nice to know.

    Question is: Do you offer a military discount and if so how much and do you advertise it?

    I have two months left in so it doesn't mean much to me but for our boys and girls that will be still serving what say you?

    If so I thank you for what you do for us your US(or other) Service Members:D

    I think all places of business should give a military discount. It's the least we can do for our men and women serving our country......just my 2 cents worth.

    During my time in college I worked at several retail locations from Checker to various places in the mall as well as a few dining establishments and all of them gave some form of a military discount. It is worth asking.

    Pretty cool. In my book, if you've made the choice to serve your country, you deserve a discount. Probably the least anyone could do.

    If you are a Vet or current Military go to Google and put "Veterans discounts" in search there is a listing from a New York paper of 175 businesses that offer discounts as well as many others.

    I do, always have, but unless the order is being shipped to an APO, I have no way of knowing, usually. I give 10% off & sometimes cover shipping for an "active duty" discount.
    Available at both my stores, Hot Rod Leather & at LeatherPillowFactory.com

    If we didn't have veterans that were protecting our country over the years ,your business wouldn't exist. A discount for there military sacrifice is just a little benefit they deserve. THANK YOU guys and gals for serving.
     
  19. I find that many businesses will give a military discount but only if you ask. The first question I ask when checking out is do you give "military, VFW, AAA, senior" discounts. I am surprised at how many time the reply is "yes, but only if you ask". IHOP here in Oklahoma is like that.

    Another thing to look into is "corporate cash" accounts at stores. I have one at O'Reilly's and it helps more than the military discount. You have to have a legitimate business name to qualify which many people on here seem to have.

    autozone,napa, advanced auto on orders over 50 bucks. Lowes, Ihop gives 20%. Remflex gives a 20% discount too.

    I have found its all on the manager that works there. Some times they give you a line of BS and some times they give you a discount.

    Just ask, worst they can say is no.

    WTF?
    You guys seriously get a discount just for being Military?:eek:
    The closest I have come to that is a couple of times I have been asked to leave a premises simply because I was Army but never a discount.
    On ANZAC Day we get a whole lot of love, the rest of the year its mainly contempt.
    Fuck I live in the wrong country!!
    I wouldn't even be game enough to mention being a Vet either, face to face with anyone here!

    Doc.
