Yeah, I get shit like this from time to time. I have veteran, student, and hospital employee IDs. Discounts typically are offered because 1) the discountee performs a job or service that benefits the society as a whole, yet is extraordinarily under-compensated 2) the discountee likely does not have a sufficient income or has an extreme drain on funds, e.g. college student, to adequately support basic living requirements, such as obtaining food. In case 2, the premise is that they will get a higher paying job upon graduation and help support the economy and maybe achieve something worthwhile to society.
If this particular story did not, I have personally witnessed similar exchanges. Our veterans deserve recognition and thanks, but sadly there really are too many assholes like the woman in this story. I try to make it a point to thank veterans for their service, and the auto parts store I currently work for, as well as several restaurants I have worked at in the past do offer discounts in appreciation. I extend a heartfelt thank-you to any veterans who may read this post, as well.
I think a lot of people make that mistake. I don't support any of the wars we're currently engaged in, but I support the American citizens who have been ordered by our government to go fight them. Old people don't do anything but yell at people and they get discounts everywhere, I don't think it's too much for a military man or woman to ask if there's a discount available. It's not like it specifically impacted that whacko lady's life in any way.
Exactlt. If anything she can live her life thanks to people like him. And some old people just yell. But they probably live out of their retirement after being an awesome young person probably and retirement money it is not much so that is probably why.
Some people do get the warrior and the war confused, but sadly there are many who simply hate. This goes back to the hippies and protests of the sixties. The Vietnam vets were treated horribly when they came home, and many never recovered .
How sad! Stupid people! Soldiers do not call for war. Goverments do.
I was told by a mother of a guy in a military that she was once afraid to go to crowed places because of terrorism, but her son told her not to be because that is why he was there fighting, so we could all have a normal life back home. That changed my attitude as well just like the lady's.
