Why doesn't O'reilly Auto Parts like military people?

I'm sad to see that oreilly auto parts only offers a 5% discount to military personell when Kragen, the company they purchased, offered 10%. Apparently oreilly doesnt like military & military veterans that much. You may not know that O'reilly bought out Kragen.

1. You should ask their corporate office about that. The company isn't obligated to offer any discount.
2. maybe they can't afford a larger discount in this economy. At least you still get a discount.
3. I am retired military, be glad they care enough to give 5%. For me, I support my local PX and do as much shopping there as I can.
4. You might want to see what their non-discount price and compare the two. It could be that Kragen charges more overall for parts while the other supplier has a lower baseline price. Remember that the economy is bad for everyone and some businesses just can't cut prices any lower in order to remain in business. I am a vet and I understand your frustration and the supplier may even be a vet himself.
5. Both Kragen and O'reilly are ''''mass merchandisers'. You may want to check prices on the same parts at NAPA or a leading indepentant auto parts store. The can say what they want but after an incident with a brake master clylinder a few years back I'm staying with NAPA or maybe CarQuest.........
