Serious question - in places where they offer military or veteran discount how do you check? Do you ask them to show some relevant id?

[–] PrimarilyPrimate@lemmy.world 19 points 5 days ago (1 children)

My partner shows a VA card when asked.

[–] BaroqueInMind@piefed.social -3 points 5 days ago

Did your partner eat Iraqi children or Afghan children? Which one tasted his favorite?

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Pretty much, yeah. Every veteran and their spouse (and kids under 21) has military ID.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No they don't. People who separated and didn't retire are veterans, but don't get military IDs. They can get a VA ID or some states will add veteran to their license.

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You also have your old military id. Even if expired it should work 99.99% of the time.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

The one you're supposed to return?

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 days ago

The big box hardware stores, Home Depot and Lowe’s have sort of set the standard. There are a few ID cards that they accept as proof.

At the end of the day it is up to each store how they handle it.

My dad is a veteran, and he will sometimes ask, and sometimes they will ask him. Almost always, especially in restaurants, he just says that he is, and they give him the discount.
