Any other veterans have problems getting a military discount at Home Depot? Every time I go there they give me such a hard time about the military discount all the while telling me how much they love and serve the military. Examples:
1. The VA has a new card for guys like me that are not retirees, not medically discharged and over the income limit to be able to use the VA. The card came out last year to help us show proof of prior service so we can take advantage where places offer military discounts. Home Depot always tries to tell me it's not a valid veteran's card. I always have to get the manager involved.
2. One time I left my wallet in the truck and my business partner paid instead. Home Depot gave me grief about getting a military discount since someone else was paying for the purchase.
3. I bought something at Home Depot online and went into the store to get it. I asked them how to get the military discount since there is no option for it online. Like maybe refund me what I paid online then let me buy again in the store and use the discount. They refused, saying something about since it was not bought in the store they could not apply a military discount.
On the other hand, Lowe's bends over backwards for veteran's. Never a hassle.
