As a veteran I am disgusted with this place. They have numerous patriotic signs out front but in fact their treatment of veterans or actually serving members of the military is quite horrendous. I got sick when I drove by and saw these signs. so I wanted to let every other veteran know these people's true colors. It has been some years since my service in the Navy and also many years (1999) since I have gone into this place but I can honestly say the memory of how I was treated in there has never left my mind. It wasn't long before closing time and I had made a last minute run to the packy. As I walked around the store a man (the son of the the family that owned the store, maybe) approached me and asked me how old I was. For full disclosure at this time I looked very young (to the point that one time, not long from when this happen, I switched seats on an airplane with somebody and I was switching to the emergency exit the stewardess came running over to me telling me I couldn't sit there, when I asked why she said I had to be over 15 to sit there. I showed her my ID's and informed her that I was in the military and flying back to my ship ((the USS JFK CV-67)) she went away.) So this man approaches me asking about my age, I inform him that I am 21 and have not only my Mass drivers license but also a Military ID to prove my age. After looking at my ID's he informs my that he still does not believe that I am 21, I then say to him I also have paper pay checks in my wallet from the military to show that this is truly me (at this time they still gave paper pay stubs, only on the 1st and 15th but they gave them, I still have them and laugh when I look at how little money I made for serving). I take them out to show him and he informs me that he does not care and that I can not by at his store. The whole time there is an older gentleman sitting behind the counter sort of smiling at the whole situation. I figure he is the boss so I shout over to him that I am in the service and am over 21 why can't I buy here. He says nothing and the next thing I know the younger guy who approached me gives me a shove towards the door, I obviously reacted badly to this and shout to him something about them being unamerican and why won't they let me buy their? This enrages the younger dude who is now swearing at me to get the F out of his store. I leave, still angrily insulting them on how they are treating a service member with numerous ID's and saying something to the effect that someday they will regret treating a service member this way. I drive over to Kappys and buy their with no problem using both ID's and enjoy my night. Fast foward to last week when I finally drive by this place for the first time in a long time and am shocked and stunned to see all of their patriotic signage out front. I can say first hand these people do not care about active service members or veterans and those signs are strictly to entice people into their store. I implore any veteran or service member to boycott this place. Prior to the wars these people did not care about us serving. I am not really surprised to see them using patriotic fever to try and entice people to their store. BOYCOTT, BOYCOTT, BOYCOTT. read more
