Walmart: Offer Vets and Servicemembers a Discount
As a vet and a former Walmart employee, I'm asking Walmart to support our troops by offering a discount to veterans and active servicemembers.
Why is this important?
Walmart says that it prides itself on its commitment to veterans. Last year, the company got a lot of press about hiring veterans. But as a disabled veteran and former Walmart employee, I think they can do more.
A lot of members of the military and veterans are on a fixed income and some are even on public assistance. These people fought to uphold the freedoms and rights that we are afforded today and a retailer as big as Walmart can help them by offering a discount for active servicemembers and veterans. A lot of people who serve our country rely on Walmart because of its low prices, but an additional discount could really go a long way in helping these families and would show that Walmart really supports them.
I worked for Walmart for four years in Pennsylvania and it was so disappointing when soldiers from local military bases would ask if we had discounts and I had to say no. There’s a lot that Walmart needs to do to treat veterans better -- especially the ones who are store employees -- but offering a discount to the servicemembers and veterans who have sacrificed so much for our country is a good place to start.
Please show your support to our vets and military by signing this petition.
