Here's my beef - if you were in combat, you deserve a farking discount. If I owned my own place I'd be happy to give it to you. Hell, I'd probably take off 50% if there was something on your ID denoting combat.
If you worked at a desk in Germany, you're just another guy with a federal job. Do FBI or Secret Service agents get 15% knocked off their bill? No? Then STFU. You're not a "hero," man. Just some dude riding the pine on a GS salary.
And it's really stupid to do it when you work for a restaurant that is in a town with 2 military bases forming 50% of their income. Fort Wainwright and Eielson AFB are a BIG part of the local economy. There was a lot of talk of service members boycotting Bostons when this came out. Never shiat where you eat.
Facebook amuses me. I know a number of people who have seriously compromised their chances for success in their lives because they are so narcissistic that they assume everything they post are words of utmost "wisdom".
You know I think facebook may actually providing a service after all. Weeding out the idiots who should be digging ditches instead of interacting with the public could be a good thing.
That said, facebook is a scourge on society and all who use it.

I live in Fairbanks, and know some people who know this guy. He's gay.
Teknowaffle:Why do baby killers think they deserve a discount at various places for maiming and killing poor brown people?
Because the Boston's up here has a sign in the window that says "military get's a 10% discount on their bill" in the window. Most military people I know don't harass places about discounts, but if you have a sign up saying they'll save money, pretty much anyone will use it.
CarnySaur:He also noted other professionals, like police officers and fire fighters, don't receive similar discounts
He's got a point.
"I'm one of those people that rants and raves," he said. "Realizing the next morning what I'd said, I thought, 'Oh, crap.'"
Been there.
When i worked at KFC in canada, we would give a 10% discount for military if they asked for one and had ID proving they were in the forces.
Everybody says stupid things online sometimes. I do it fairly often myself, but was always careful not to bring the company i worked for into it.
A girl i know got fired for biatching on facebook about the state of the ladies room at the call center she worked for and how the women that worked there were dirty pigs.
/to be fair call center bathrooms are often pretty nasty

The discount or the rant?
The rant. The discount brings in more people. I know the guy who owns the 2 Papa Murphy's franchises up here. He has big signs advertising a 25% military discount. He started out at 15%, and then discovered that with the 25%, he did so much more business, he made up for the lower profit margin with volume.

This just feels like Orwellian newspeak. Serve and fight so much our "freedom" is penury.
