...I carried my DD214 for a long time...no problem...then the cashiers told me to go get "Veteran" put on my TX driver's license...it would be accepted and no more paper shuffling...I took my DD214 to the Driver's License office and got "Veteran" put on my license...that worked for about a month...then the cashier showed me a memo they'd gotten that week from corporate requiring the DD214 and refusing the "Veteran" designation on the license...
...I went to Staples with my old, beat-up, barely legible DD214 and came out with 2 3 1/2x 2 3/4 laminated copies of my DD214 that fit my wallet and were sharper and easier to read and they accept them w/o comment...cost me almost $9 at Staples but well worth the discount...I much prefer shopping at Home Depot to shopping at Lowes...at Lowes, on larger orders, I've had to wait 15-20 minutes for a Supv. to show up at the register and card-swipe their authorization for the discount...
...no matter the trouble...it's still a real nice gesture on their part...and much appreciated!!!
