I was in the Orleans Lowe's today and asked if they still give the military discount. They "do", but the cashier handed me a flyer stating:
Dear Lowe's Customer,
We have offered a military discount at this store in the past. Regrettably this was done in error. For a number of reasons, this is not something we will continue to offer in Canada.
At your request we will continue to offer this 10 percent military discount until Monday, October 31st, 2011 when you present valid military I.D.
Lowe's provides our customers the most competitive pricing in the market and an everyday price match guarantee.
Please accept our sincere apology. We truly appreciate your business.
Understanding that I do not expect discounts just because I'm in the military, this really bothers me. Why initially offer the discount and then say that is was offered in "error". Also, I would love to know what these "number of reasons are". Kind of insulting when this is still being offered in the US, was offered in Canada, and now is being discontinued. Safe to say that I'm done shopping at any Lowe's in Canada.
