My Lowe's has stopped selling taps and dies.
Holy s#*t, talk about a clueless nut job!
WoW! Talk about is guy who's off his meds. It's either that or he's been smoking a batch! He's so far to the left he thinks Karl Marx is a fiscal conservative.
Around here, Lowe's and Home Depot offers a 10% disabled Veteran's discount.

How do they verify veteran status?
No need to be disabled. They'll give the discount to all veterans. Lowes will also give a 5% discount for using their card.
DD-214, usually.
Year round, or just Veteran's day & Memorial day?
Not so much:
In addition, a 10 percent discount is also offered in recognition of Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day and Veterans Day at all U.S. Home Depot stores for all other military veterans.
I see large truckfulls from The Home Depot being delivered. Got Lowes here, as well as Busy Beaver, 84 Lumber, and others.

The local HD told me they only offer it on the two days I stated, a few months ago.
They have a number to call if you are refused the discount.

It has been an on again, off again policy for almost a decade around here. HD's latest change is in response to Lowe's updated policies.
I just left, and went across the street to Lowe's.
Right. I'm told that many managers will give it to any vet, anytime, if they ask. Store managers (even department managers) have a lot of leeway.
My experience is that HD is crap. Lowe's only slightly better. Went to get two 12' 2 x 12's, and the WHOLE PALLET had a split in the same place on the end of evey board running 18". Went to HD, and found two out of about 100 that were decent, but would not have bought them if I wasn't in a time crunch.
If you want GOOD lumber, you will go to a lumber yard, as they carry sizes and grades you can't find at the Borgs. Kinda depends on the project, and, as stated, if they give you a break for having an account, etc. But I think any lumber yard has better lumber on average than either Lowe's or HD.

HD contractor's desk sells the wrong sized doors just like any other outfit. Just more often.
