I’ve been buying from them for years with no problem getting the discount, then a couple of months ago I had one cashier tell me that I couldn’t use it unless I installed their app on my phone. When I replied that my phone couldn’t install the app she still flatly refused to give the discount without it. It pissed me off enough I just left what I was going to buy with her and walked out. Life‘s to short. The next time in a because I had forgotten the episode she wasn’t working and I had no problems just showing my ID like always, and everytime since no problems. Then yesterday I get the same APP bs from a different cashier, with the it’s not my fault it’s from corporate line. I was in a hurry and didn’t feel like going to another store so I just picked the box of nails I was buying up and walked down to the contractor checkout and amazingly had no problems getting the discount with my ID just like always and no mention of needing the app. Anyone else run into this?

I go to Lowes now. You send them a copy of your 214 and you just give them your phone number and flash your dl for name confirmation.
I later found out about the HD rule change. I haven't played that game.
My wife sent in my stuff to lowes because it pissed me off.
ACE still lets me flash the I'd.
That's where I went today.

Requiring actual veterans to prove that they're actually veterans and not just some POS trying to get a discount seems like a good thing to me. I'm not a veteran though so...
I didn't serve for 10%, if they offer it to me, I'll take it, I've been asked for my ID and I show them my Retired Military Card and my VA 100% card and thank them, but I've never asked for a Discount.
Both stores are no longer giving vet discounts on big ticket items like appliances because the veteran discount was being abused by vets buying those items for nonvets...and I don't blame them. We are our own worst enemy because of knuckleheads who just HAVE to abuse the privilege.
Wherever I go, I always ask if there is a Veteran's discount. Most of the time, there is one
I've never asked.
Me either but as often as not they'll ask me. I must have that grizzled look.
