Went to Lowes yesterday to pick up some electrical odds & ends. When I checked out and showed my military ID, the cashier handed me a piece of paper explaining that I could add 'military' to my 'My Lowes' account. Once you do that, the next time you buy something, they verify your military status. After that you get the discount automatically on anything you buy or order on line, as long as you have the 'My Lowes' account. They can look up your 'My Lowes' account by your phone number ( I never carry the 'My Lowes' card). At the Lowes in Pittsboro, some cashiers can add the military discount, some have to have a manager override which takes time. That will no longer be a problem for me or the people behind me in line.
