My husband and I have been extremely loyal shoppers at Lowes for many years, however after my most recent purchase I will not be visiting my lowes stores anymore. I will use Home Depot from now on. I went to Lowes because of the military discount to purchase my new washer and dryer and even though what I chose was very expensive I thought to myself it will be ok because I get 10% off at the register. I was in for a rude awakening. When I got to the register after the cashier rang me up I showed my military ID to get my 10% and was told that Lowes no longer honors the military discount on appliances, furniture, tools, and a lot of other items. I had not heard of this new thing as we just built our home and building supplies, tools, appliances, and everything we needed to build was purchased at Lowes. Had I known that Lowes was going to do this I would have never used Lowes for any of our purchases and instead used Home Depot. We are building a vacation home and rest assured we will buy elsewhere. I am not going to purchase anything else from Lowes and since I work on a military base I will totally put that word out to everyone that I know. I think that was a classless decision by the Lowes Corporation and once everyone realizes what this business is doing I am sure you will lose more. My little discount would have made me feel better about spending $2000.00 for a washer and dryer but it will be easy for me to switch stores. My husband is a contractor so you will be losing quite a bit from this family. Patricia Rivera
