Dear Denny's in Springdale and all others out there. My daughter and I went to your business on Saturday 2.11.2012. As we walked in my daughter ask this question, "do they give a military discount"? My answer was "I'm sure they do" why wouldn't they? Our military is the people that protects our freedom and allows us to open up a business and earn money!
We were seated and I ask the host if they gave a military discount? Her response was NO! I ask why not? She replied I don't know? I said ok thank you.
My daughter is in the national guard! At 17 she signed up and is going to basic in June and has encourage several to look at joining with her (one that already has signed up).
As she and I sit there I could tell how upset she was getting, they she let it out, why don't they offer a military discount? I said " Baby let me talk to the manger and see why"? As we were eating I became more and more confused at this restaurant owner and manager, however i wanted to know first hand why they wouldn't offer a military discount to the MILITARY, BUT MORE THEN THAT NO DISCOUNT TO THE POLICE, FIREMEN OR ANYONE ELSE!!!! BUT SHE SAID WE OFFER TO TRIPLE A!
Ok theres my answer! its all about the money!
I went to pay my bill, it was 17.50, I ask to see the manager, she come up and I ask "do you offer military discount"? Her replay will floor you like it did me! NO! Then she started trying to explain why they didn't, (AT THIS POINT I DONT GIVE A F*&K what she is saying. I ask do you offer to Police or firemen? NO! and again she started to give a bunch of BS to why!!!!
This is what floored me, she said my husband is active military, I said you understand why I'm asking then, right? She never responded!!!! Only to make an excuse for the owners and the so called POLICY and PROCEDURES. AGAIN I DONT CARE ABOUT THAT ANY MORE.
I paid my bill, gave a tip to my server and SAID ILL NEVER COME BACK TO HERE OR ANY OTHER DENNY'S RESTAURANT.
My child as well as all the other men and women that serve and have died for our freedom deserve respect!!!!
We left and I ask my daughter how she would have handled that (she works at a fast food restaurant) she said they offer discounts and or if an issued came up, just gave they the meal, WOW!!! THAT A GOOD
So my rant is this, for a $1.75 they lost a customer for life, I have posted this here, on my face book page where it will be seen by 2000 eyes and lots of military families and I plan on sending to Denny's.
If you support our military please pass this along, WE DONT HAVE TO PUT UP WITH IT, and the next time you see a man or women in uniform, thank them!!!! They are the hero's.

PS I wonder if a natural destroy hits Denny's and my daughter is there cleaning up, or protecting their property, or the marines comes to protect us for the enemies, of if it catches on fire and the local fire and police dept comes out to serve them, i wonder if they will say thank you then and start showing a little respect??? read more
