I believe Lowe’s always “matched” the military discount of HD to compete, and I’ve recently heard advertising implying that it’s now a policy?
HD has a written limitation into the policy for how much off a purchase, and a limitation to which forms of ID are acceptable. To which some people are more steadfast on those rules than others causing conflict and confusion as to which IDs are acceptable.
I have had a list of locations along i75 that gave military/ veteran/retired or other service (police/fire/ambulance) discounts, up to which ones were 50% off but some of these establishments have since changed ownership and/or I haven’t been there in a while. Most of these places I visited while actively serving the National guard and in uniform, which is how I found them. I usually don’t remember or think about going out of my way to ask, but some cashiers will recognize the bank card and ask if I was a service member.
