Stopped by Lowes the other day to pick up and few odds and ends. Total bill came to about twenty bucks. At register, requested the military discount. I am a sixty year old Vietnam Vet of pure Irish heritage naturally born in this country. The cashier asked to see my military ID. I do not have a military ID and to be honest would not want to go through the trouble and effort of securing one. I relayed this information to cashier and he denied my discount. Now discount was only a couple of bucks and that is certainly no big deal. But here is the best part. The cashier was obviously born in India, Pakistan or regional country. He was difficult to understand. No problem with that, he will get better. But, for a gentleman who obviously came to this country using the very freedoms I helped secure for him, and then have the audacity to deny me?
Just one more indication leading to the eventual erosion of all that was accomplished to make the USA such a special place. -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
