The everyday discount is suppose to be for active, retired and VA disabled but I haven't found a salesperson yet who knew that.



Lowe's established the 10% Military Discount to support the men and women who are currently serving our country in the Armed Services1 and to honor Retired Veterans and VA Recipients.2 This 10% discount is also extended to the immediate family3 of those who are currently serving, Retired Veterans, or VA Recipients.
To qualify for the Everyday 10% Military Discount, you must:
Be currently serving in, or retired from, a qualifying branch of the Armed Services, or be the immediate family member of someone who is and have a valid military ID Card.
Or:
Be a veteran who receives VA benefits and have a valid Veteran Identification Card (VIC).
We honor all Veterans on three specific holidays: Memorial Day, 4th of July and Veterans Day. During these three holiday weekends, we extend the discount to all veterans who served honorably and who present a valid Form DD214 or other proof of service. The Lowe’s Military Discount is extended to the Veteran community on these three holidays only.
The Military Discount must be used on personal purchases only and cannot be used for Lowes.com purchases, previous sales, or the purchase of gift cards or services including product installations. It cannot be combined with the Lowe’s Price Guarantee, or promotions such as "Spend and Get," "New Mover," "Project Starter," "Your Choice," or discounts such as Quote Support Program (QSP) quotes.

• 1 Armed Services — US Army, US Navy, US Air Force, US Marine Corps, US Coast Guard, or the National Guard and who are in active, reserve, or retired status.
• 2 Retired Veterans and VA Recipients — Veterans who have retired after 20 years of service and/or those who receive VA Benefits
• 3 Immediate Family — Spouses and/or dependent children (up to 18 years old.)

The restaurant was kind enough to give you the meal, but the server relies on tips for their income. In many cases, the server is making less than minimum wage. The restaurant does not compensate the servers for the lost tips. You should leave the server a tip, based on the value of the meal that the restaurant provided you. Two years ago, my favorite server at Applebee's worked for 13 straight hours, 8-1/2 months pregnant, and made less than $20 in tips for the day. Accepting a free meal from the restaurant and then stiffing the help is just plain rude.

I'm glad you brought this subject up. Seems the art of tipping has changed quite a bit lately, could be for numerous reasons. One could be, seniors today have far less money to spend, let alone on tips and the reason why they are out on this occasion. I've seen some standing in line as I drive by Applebee's or Golden Corral that look as if they haven't ate in weeks. I know there are a lot of seniors working now to make things meet that should be enjoying their retirement but can't and we all know some of those reasons. Could be also they don't tip all that well because they remember back when service was far better. I know it seems there is even a tip jar at each cash register these days to tip the person giving you your change....not what the hell is that!!!!! I know from personal and up front experience tipping is just not what it use to be. When I'm out with old school mates or anyone I know, I always pay the check because of an old force of habit or that I'm better off than they are and tell the others to leave the tip and most of the time they can't leave much or I'm appalled at the feeble amount they do leave that can leave more, leaving me to supplement the amount before walking away.
I will not be partaking in a free meal this year as I also have not any years before and any remaining years to come for three reasons. First, I don't feel I should be picked out for a profession that I chose. Is there a Police Day or a Fireman's Day? They too chose to put theirselves in Harm's Way.
Second, even though there are some that show legitiment heartfelt thanks, there are many just copping out, they feel if they do something nice, they are off the hook for not putting on the uniform and not serving, case in point....only 1% serve today and when exactly did all this 'freebee' stuff start, ten years ago, maybe fifteen?????????????? Then again, there are some today that feel they are owed every pat on the back they can get.
The only people that owe me is Uncle Sam, my retirement, disability and SS. I earned every penny and I feel no one else owes me jack crap.
The third and final reason I will not partake in a free meal is, when I got out, I swore I would never stand in a feckin chow line again.

I don't use either my Military Retired ID or my VA Care card for any discounts anymore, I don't have to, I use my driver's license to show I'm a senior, no better than anyone else my age plus, I'm usual carded wherever I go anyway because I look so young!!!!!!!.
