10% off the purchase price before taxes is huge when you run the numbers on a low mark-up high volume item. Costco simply couldn't afford to do it.

I support all of our active duty and veterans. I support first responders and all the men in blue. And in these times I support grocery workers and all folks working in health care, especially those at the hospital and home care.

Frankly I think the big box 10% discount is discriminatory. Not all had the chance to serve even if eligible at the time.

I like to think of the millions of women who went to work for long hours during WWII filling in for men in service. They are far and few between now, but what did they get? They have/had medical issues but no Veterans Administration benefits for them including mortgage backing unless they survived a vet.

I say end it. But that would be a public relations and marketing nightmare. They have few choices but to tighten things up a bit.

It's a gift. If you don't get your gift, do whatever you have to do but stop whining. Lot's of people sacrificed in many ways. It's not just the military we need to honor and thank for their effort at one time or another.
