My wife has made me move away from FB and create an account here just for this because my family is blowing up my phone and I don’t know if I’m really in the wrong. I'm a 40 year old veteran and like a lot of vets, I use military discounts when I can. Last week, I went out to dinner with my brother and his fiancée, and a couple of friends. When the check came, I told the server I had a military discount. My brother’s fiancée immediately jumped in and said "Oh just put it all under his bill so we all get the discount" I could tell the waitress felt uncomfortable because she was about to say no so I told her that’s not how it works and the discount only covers me, and if I’m paying my own tab, fine, but I’m not about to cover a table of six just so everyone can save a few bucks. She called me selfish and said “you didn’t even pay full price to serve, so why hoard the perks now?” That honestly stung. I calmly told her that if she wants a military discount, she can enlist. My brother said I was being an ass and making her feel unwelcome in the family. I pointed out that she was the one being disrespectful, but now my mom says I should’ve just “kept the peace” and paid for the table because it wasn’t worth the drama. So, Reddit…........am I in the wrong here for not giving up my discount and clapping back? She's a lot younger so I could have been nicer I guess. \*\*\*\*\*UPDATE\*\*\*\*\* I'm sorry this really is my first time posting on Reddit; like EVER. I really thank you all for the replies. I just wanted to clarify that when she made the comment "you didn’t even pay full price to serve" she was referring to the fact that I was Marine Corp Reserve. I did two tours and spent half my time active but started off as a reserve. I'm sorry I just wanted to make sure that part was clear.
