Military personnel beware!
I went in to buy a pair of running shoes in prep for my PT test. The cashier (manager - ?) working when I shopped there doesn't believe Guard & Reserve troops are actually military personnel. I showed her my Guard ID when I saw the sign for their new military discount. She told me that I'm "not really IN the military", I "just work for them". I ended up getting the discount when my boyfriend produced his retired ID. I was told I should get a dependent ID so I can get the discount, too. I wrote an email to corporate & they replied with a halfhearted apology & mailed me a $5 gift card.
I don't think I'll use my new running shoes to sprint over there to use it.
