They do get special treatment though. They get discounts off Oakley, Raybans, car dealerships, many, many restaurants, you would be surprised at how much discount they get too.
I remember FOX news having a story about a couple of weeks ago how a family paid the bill for a couple of cops at a restaurant and how nice it was. Unknown to that family is that those cops get a massive discount up to and sometimes over 50’%
These are all voluntary. Merchants give discounts to veterans, active military, seniors, teachers, etc. That's their choice.
I'm referring to a law that mandates special treatment.
And then they leave a tip for the wait staff that equals the difference. I do it all the time.
