Glory days has a very generous military discount. Never had a Burger King give a discount. Dunkin Donuts is sketchy at best – appears they are moving away from all discounts.
Culver’s in Payson gives 5% if you ask.

The treatment my husband has received in these past 10 years has been awesome. I thank you because he isn’t in pain like he was. Thank you for all you’ve done.
How about discounts on the golf course.. I play when I can afford it which isn’t very often.
Some ARBY’s offer a military discount. Show your Military ID when ordering.
They do in Ellijay, GA, which is where we love. Bufffalo Lukes, Bonjangles and KFC offer discounts too. You need to ask, and that doesn’t cost anything! 😊
Everything is very Well !
