Were you aware that Lowes Hardware is collecting information on Veterans. My local Lowes would not give me military discount unless I provided the following information: phone number, branch of service, dates of service, discharge date and rank. I don't know why they are collecting this info but I find it very disturbing.

Lowes is a private business and the data they choose to collect on customers is their business. There is no requirement that they give you any sort of discount...they do that as a courtesy when they do it. Every company you deal with is collecting marketing information about you. If it disturbs you, don't shop there. They have a right to manage their business, you have a right to not go there.
