Today, a customer wanted a military discount for buying two 39 cent Slim Jims. I work at an auto parts store. FML

You should have gave him the employee discount. Two for .78 cents.

**** no. I hope not. I believe in respecting the men and women in military, but this is bullshit.

My bet is the customer wasn't an actual military member but a certain type of military wife. Otherwise known as a "dependapotamus" .

#52, it's laughable that you think military spouses don't sacrifice anything.

It is laughable that you think that spouses sacrifice so much. I am a military spouse by the way and I know that there are many women (NOT ALL) who are a certain stereotype of a self entitled dependa that thinks the world owes them everything when it doesn't. This cheap-wad sounds like it fits that description.

Please if you're in the military or even a spouse and you're downing this you have no sense of humor

Did he "Snap. . . into a Slim Jim" once you told him no discounts were available?

If its a 10% discount then 36 cents or if they rounded it off 35 cents

So then whTs the big deal in giving it? Does anyone know if he was homeless? Cause I know a lot of service men and women who are and don't get any help from the state or military.

many places have a minimum payment before discount. maot likely op couldnt have given the discount even if he wanted to.

I would have offered it up to thank him for his service in the armed forces (if he really is) and would have paid the $1 myself

Well OP has already stated she couldn't give discounts on such low ticket items due to store policy anyway. So you COULD give him the discount, but then you'd get fired or suspended or whatever. Over what, 6p? 6p is not a discount worth giving. So shush.

So they get suspended or lose their job over a Slim Jim? I think not.
