fourflushers. You're a genuine veteran and could qualify for the
discount, but what if the guy behind you heard you getting a big
discount just by saying you served. What's to stop him from claiming
the discount just by claiming to be a veteran even though he wasn't--
and the guy behind him and the guy behind the guy behind him. Lowe's
isn't that stupid. Obviously they have a policy to grant the discount
only to those with documentary proof of military status. If your
cashier had been caught letting you claim the discount without proof,
he would--and should--have been fired on the spot. And what does his
place of birth have to do with it??!!! The same would apply to a
native born American. Would you expect it to be otherwise? The guy was
obviously doing his job well under difficult circumstances [the
difficult circumstance in this case being you] and is a credit to both
his new country and to his ancestry.
