Purchased several items at Lake Mary, Florida, store on 22 Nov 2017. Ask cashier if company offered a military discount (as does stores such as Lowe's and Home Depot).

Cashier stated military discount was only offered for the the first two weeks of the month. This is a poor and stupid policy at best and disrespects military members. Last time I will shop Academy Sports. Being a member of the VFW and American Legion I will pass this information on to both organizations for distribution to members .

Active duty and retired military members support those who support us. Academy Sports maybe yes, maybe no policy, Dumb.

Reason of review: Poor Military Discount policy.

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.

Academy Sports And Outdoors Cons: Military discount policy and website.

Location: 3641 Lake Emma Rd, Lake Mary, FL 32746, USA

We military members do not have any expectation upon any store to give us a discount. The fact you feel entitled to one and respond with such venom at feeling disrespected embarrasses the majority of us that are grateful when we receive a discount. You have your right to take your business elsewhere and demand your privilege be honored, but you make us all look ridiculous in the process.

AGREE! The Academy in Austin and Round Rock only honor a military discount on Veteran's Day.

I guess that is the only day they appreciate their freedom. We go to Cabela's and Bass Pro even though they are more expensive, they are respectful.

They did a military discount at the beginning of November. Itโ€™s not an ongoing policy, but it was heavily advertised for the first two weeks of November. Youโ€™re not really entitled to a discount anyway, so whatโ€™s the problem?

I'd have more sympathy for you if you would have refrained from using such terms as "stupid" "dumb" and "disrespect" ( a ghetto made up slang piece ).

Next time learn the policy before you march in somewhere and "disrespect" some poor slob working for peanuts at a crummy sporting goods store.

Personal regard for our Military - 100/100

Sympathy for this complaint - 0/100

Lol you think military people make A lot of money huh. Does your job put your life on the line for random people that Youโ€™ll probably never meet?

I doubt it does. Asking for a simple 10% off is the least any company can do for active and retired military members putting their lifes on the line for these โ€œpoor slobsโ€ like you said.

Man American people take for granted everything now a days. What a joke.
