My very stupid uncle shared this on FB today. Its just a photo of the Home Depot logo and this story. It's so IOSM and STDH I am beside myself.quote:So I am at Home Depot today and the older gentleman in front of me shows his ID for a veterans discount. The clerk tells him he does not qualify for a discount so the gentleman asked to see a manager. They ask me to go to another line because this may take a few minutes. I tell them no thanks I want to hear this. 65k shares... why in the gently caress...

I worked at Home Depot for a while. They don't do military discounts, and there was a big sign at the register saying they don't do them. also please do not blow up a home depot there is so much shrapnel in there

Home Depot has veteran discounts? Apparently they do: http://www.snopes.com/home-depot-veteran/ But only on veteran related holidays, or if you're active duty, or if you're retired with a disability. So yeah. It's like asking for the Tuesday Lady's Special Oil change...on Wednesday, when you were a lady but now identify as a man.

I see a lot of tourists come and go and a lot of times there's an older or crippled partner who doesn't really give a gently caress anymore but their husband or wife insists on basically marching everywhere demanding special treatment for them because they're old or broken or whatever while they're just sighing and trying to say it doesn't matter, they can manage fine as is they don't need it.

Never under estimate the influence of NASCAR on the Right Wing. My parents used to be really into it, and Home Depot's driver, Tony Stewart, was generally regarded as an rear end in a top hat. I think he had issues with my parents' favorite drivers, so we shopped at Lowe's. I remember it took a long time for people to stop passing around the story about how Home Depot = terrorists because they had staff training that was basically "don't be a dick just because of someone's religion."

Krispy Kareem posted:Home Depot has veteran discounts? Basically this. I worked at a Home Depot for a while, and when I started the policy was lax. Flash a card? Sure, whatever, discount. But, then they wanted us to crack down on it. So we did. Or rather, some cashiers did. Some didn't (which was AWESOME). We had a nice printed sheet that showed what cards we took, and I would explain it to people when they asked. And generally, if they were polite, I told them I would give them 10% good customer discount anyway, you know just remember for next time (which hey, I can't remember your face, so just keep being polite score for you cuz I'll repeat it to you each time!). If they yelled and had a hissy fit I didn't offer that, because gently caress you I make 9.75 an hour. And what someone else said, it was almost ALWAYS spouses (particularly younger ladies for some reason) who had absolute tantrums over this -- I have no idea WHY.

EvilGenius posted:It's come up before, but drat I find this attitude bizarre. Are you saying scaffolders should be paid more, or burger servers should be paid less? What kind of bitter do you have to be to wish a lesser wage on someone? There's a couple of things at play here: One is the question of who deserves what. In this hierarchy people in trades are categorically more deserving than fast food workers and should be paid substantially more. The second is just world theory, those construction workers make 17 bucks an hour because that's clearly what the market has decided and the market is the sole moral arbiter of pay. Artifically raising the pay of fast food workers gives them a moral "worth" that they don't have the right to. Since the construction worker's pay was set by the market it's already where it should be so it's the fast food worker who should get less, not both getting more. Source: I was a shithead conservative teenager, although I wasn't able to put those ideas into words until much later . The ironic thing is that my family were dirt poor farmers and thus towards the bottom of the "moral worth" scale but propaganda is a hell of a thing.

But these markets don't occur in isolation, right? Wouldn't the fact that a McDonald's cashier earns almost as much as a construction worker drive people away from a risky job into a relatively mindless and safe one, forcing builders wages up in turn?

Wouldn't the fact that a McDonald's cashier earns almost as much as a construction worker drive people away from a risky job into a relatively mindless and safe one, forcing builders wages up in turn? Those are meaningless questions for people who think this way. For them the market is natural and moral structure, artifically bumping up the builders wages indirectly is as immoral as bumping up the fast food workers wage. The underlying assumption is that the free market pays a fair wage because the definition of a fair wage is what the free market pays. An underlying assumption behind that one is that employers already pay their employees the most they can afford in order to attract the best people for the job and that in the free market productivity drives wages in a meaningful way thus forcing higher wages will unquestionably harm the business because it's already a finely tuned machine running at peak efficiency.
