LOL, I am a vet (USAF 20 years). Lowes used to give the discount on top of a sale item or mark down, but now it's just on regular priced merchandise. What is really funny is that when I first saw the sign, I misread it as $2.00. I told the girl that for only $2 I could find a use for it, and she told me it was only 2 cents.
