Don't shop at the Home Depot

Ted Decker, Ceo
Today I stopped by our local Home Depot in Hamilton, OH. We picked up what we needed and proceeded to check out. I showed my MILITARY I.D. to the cashier so she could apply the 10% military discount to our purchase. The cashier said to me, "oh sorry, we do not accept MILITARY ID's anymore, you will have to go online and register for a code in order to get your discount." I called the store manager, "that is not right, I know you don't make the rules but that is so wrong."
It is my understanding, "Mr. Decker", you are the one responsible for implementing this program. I have no idea why you would implement such a program. Maybe to Ted Decker, Ceo
Today my husband and I stopped by our local Home Depot in Hamilton, OH. We picked up what we needed and proceeded to check out. I showed my MILITARY I.D. to the cashier so she could apply the 10% military discount to our purchase.

It is my understanding, "Mr. Decker", you are the one responsible for implementing this program. I have no idea why you would implement such a program. Maybe to streamline the check-out process to make it faster? Well, I personally do not care about the reason. Let me enlighten you on what your new program has done. First off, I spent 20 years in the Army doing a job that only a small fraction of Americans is willing to do. I chose to serve our great COUNTRY and he and others like me deserve to be recognized for their service! When a MILITARY ID is presented to obtain a discount from a business, it gives the employee the opportunity to thank that person for their service. With your new program they can no longer show their Military ID to obtain your discount of 10%. They are now required to SIGN UP for a QR CODE in order to get the discount applied to purchases. By the way, the discount does not apply to items on sale or lumber. Oh! and let's not forget the max discount you can get each year is $400.00. I am not the only person that feels your program is extremely disrespectful to our military men and women! Military personnel deserve to be HONORED in every way possible. You can keep your 10% discount. I will not be exchanging my devotion for mine and your freedom for a QR CODE, SIR!
Thank you.
