i was checking out and the worker asked if I had my military ID, I figured she was joking so I said no just the hat and she inputted the 10% military discount lmao

ive been saluted by an old man and got the discount, now I just need to be thanked for my service to hit the trifecta

    I think i told this story once, but I parked in the veterans spot in front of the Trader Joe’s because it was a Trader Joe’s parking lot (if you know, you know)

    An old guy was like “Hey, you don’t have Veteran’s plates!”, so I lifted up my shirt to show him my gallbladder surgery scars and said “Does this count? Fallujah, 2005!”

    He saluted me and said “I’m sorry sir. Thank you for your service!”

    Probably helped that I was wearing my camouflage cargo pants and Carharrt hat
