meo Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I remember a post similar, but not sure I've seen such a consolidated listing as this one -- also cannot verify every one of them but it's worth calling/checking/asking. This was sent to me in an email...and I apologize if I'm breaking some protocol or something...hope not Here is a short list of places that offer military discounts. Please call your local vendors to be sure they participate in the program. Also, never be afraid to ask a store if they offer a discount, even if one is not advertised. You may be pleasantly surprised.

solenita Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I have found that many of these don't, and I live the military saturated area on Hampton Roads. Guess they don't need to give a discount when many in the area are military! Kinda stinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess they don't need to give a discount when many in the area are military! Kinda stinks! I agree -- we're in the same area (peninsula) and I know for a fact that my favorite choco chip pancakes are never discounted!! LOL! However, the smaller businesses usually do if you ask (like the mom and pop shops) -- I've taken to always asking b/c a lot of them even if they don't, will say yes and give you 10% regardless b/c they know it's good for business...and some of them just never really thought about it until you asked, kwim?

Karmarose Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I make it a point to drop the "we're military" bomb during every conversation when I'm buying something. lol Today I was scheduling an auto transport for a vehicle we bought and we got a military discount. I think the fast food discounts are only valid on post or base. Notice most of them are ones you would find on base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
