My husband is a Vet and NOT ONE WORD was said to him....oh yeah, he works at LOWES!!! No recognition of ANY kind!! So don't go thanking that store!! Also, if you do your math, 10% discount is given EVERYDAY to customers. When you go to pay for your items, the 10% is about equal to the tax charged. So there really is no real savings! Go on eBay and your can buy a book of coupons giving you 10% off. It's a slap in the face. Let me add, LOWES gives their employees NO bonus for Thanksgiving or Christmas. NONE, ZERO, ZILCH!!!
