Travis wrote in with his story after seeing the original post: After graduating from basic training, Travis decided he wanted a MacBook Pro, and when he checked out at the local Apple Store, the Apple retail guy asked if he was a student, to get a discount. Travis said he wasn't a student, but asked about a military discount.
As I pulled out my I.D., the individual that was helping me sarcastically stated, "I didn't know you were a 'Baby Killer'!" and proceeded on with the transaction. I was so excited about getting my laptop that i completely shrugged off the comment.
About a week later, I began thinking about the comment, and knowing that he made anti-military slander usually passed towards the Vietnam Era service members, I felt very disrespected. I didn't so much as care for me, but the girl I was dating at the time, her dad happened to serve in Vietnam, so it made me that much more mad. I called the store manager and told him my situation and his only way of fixing the situation was to give me a free iPod Touch and insist that this isn't company views.
That's just insane.
