As a veteran I must say that LOWES has it over HD! Lowes offers to the veteran (retired or otherwise) an across the board 10% discount on every purchase. If your buying appliances, flooring, etc, that adds up to a lot. As a nice gesture they allocate six parking spaces in front for Veterans and of course, when you check out the sales staff always say, "thank you for your service".
For Home Depot however, I found getting a veterans discount required going through channels, lots of red tape and nice try! I was not successful.........
Lowes is smart to offer the veteran this additional incentive, that's why I never shop HD anymore unless I absolutely need to. It was their attitude I did not care for. Perhaps other vets had similar or more successful experiences with HD, BUT my choice.....Lowes.
