op did say he didn't feel like telling military guy  that's hes getting a discount when dude asked him to ask because he "didn't feel it to be nessisary"

that's a lil bitch move

and I am pro military and anti snobby waitress

op probably makes weak drinks and pours flat beer

I am a specialist in the army...and honestly I HATE the extra attention...it makes me feel weird. I never ask for discounts or anything of the sort. Except 1 time I did ask for the military free admission to a federal wildlife preserve to go hiking...but it was advertised free military. This guy wasn't military or if he was...its what we call "dirtbag" ..being a good person. Live your life with honor and being humble is a key. Don't ask for recognition and if it's given...accept it graciously and do your job. You volunteered for this duty..don't expect special compensation for doing your job.  I hate people like the one described above OP and I apologize for your encounter. Understand we are all not like this.

This.
I could never understand why they act like we owe them something. They are no longer "fighting for our freedom" that was established a long time ago. But yet I always hear younger vets saying things like "oh I fought for your right to (insert whatever here)". And most people I know who joined simply joined cause they couldn't hack school or they were failing in life. Then they come back and act like we all owe them the world

arguably, the military hasn't been fighting for our freedom since the days of the continental army, and that was mostly german and french soldiers rather than the rage militaire, the undisciplined colonial militiamen and citizen-soldiers who originally constituted most of the army's ranks prior to the british capture of new york. the incorporation of professional soldiers into the continental army marked the start of the division between the military and the public, which is exactly what we are seeing play out with op's story. colonials were pretty shitty to the continental army in case you were wondering.

and i would give service members much more credit than you do. in my experience, while the services certainly do attract the bottom of the barrel type that you're describing, they also attract some our best and brightest. i have known some exemplary service members. putting aside the truism that our standing forces fight for elite business interests, i still think they deserve our respect, if not our empathy. it deeply saddens me to see anyone go to war, even if they signed up for it. and when i'm able to connect with someone over there through my job, even if it's just briefly, i try to remind them that they have a home waiting for them.

op sounds like a dbag

first off he said he knew for a fact they don't give military discounts then when forced to ask sure enuff they do

then he doesn't tell the guy that hes getting a discount when dude asked him to ask

op sounds like a lil snobby prick

You're a military fag guaranteed. Can sense that absurd entitlement complex just through what you wrote. Oh also the fact that the majority of people in the military are dumb as fuck and you seem to lack reading comprehension. The op states nowhere he was wrong. The manager just said go ahead and do it. I was a manager as well, know that phrase means? "I don't want to deal with this shit, just do it so that asshole will shut up".

Cmon now...don't judge military people off this one guy. Remember there are a lot of people who impersonate service members just to get discounts and perks...normally they are the ones who get pissy when they don't get what they want.  You can get a uniform at any local surplus store...homeless people love to do that cause its cheap and get free stuff out the.wazoo.
