Perhaps a lot of you are familiar with the veterans discount.In many shops and restaurants, those who have served in the military are eligible for special offers and discounts. Serving your country as an armed forces member entitles you to certain benefits.
These savings might not be extravagant, but they are a modest way of saying thanks. a custom that we link to specific companies.
Recently, a KFC location in Ohio made the decision to join in as well.The store’s posting of the notice sparked a number of internet responses.
In general, the store policy was to give free dining to everyone wearing uniforms, regardless of the time of day. The first plan was to give local officers a discount on chicken as a way of saying thank you. In the end, more online attention was going to be directed against this new policy.
This picture was shared on the Ohio Going Blue Facebook page, sparking a lot of conversations.
Even with more than 10,000 likes and 6,000 shares, there were a variety of opinions.
Many questioned if it was really necessary to make this offer to the cops. According to other comments, if they were an officer, they would rather not receive preferential treatment and instead cover the costs. Administrators of Facebook pages’ comments:
Although some of you are unable to see the wider picture, this is a positive topic. As an officer, whether I’m in uniform or not, I never walk into a business expecting to get anything for free.Other officers have a similar sentiment. We object to “special treatment.” The post was made because KFC is supporting police enforcement. To those who said that recognition should also go to other first responders My response? Without a doubt.
Despite garnering a lot of media attention, the sign will stay up in the business.
Let this sign be an homage to the cops who risk their lives for us, and let them know how much we value what they do.
