Wife Demands Military Discount, Regrets It When Manager Intervenes

Tempers On The Rise

Ignoring his warnings, she got up. With a flick of her hair and a walk of determination, she approached him. She was on a mission, and she wouldn’t be backing down.

Slamming the receipt down on the counter, she asked the waiter for an explanation. In her eyes, it was an act of disrespect. The waiter tried to explain himself, but it didn’t satisfy her, so she asked for the manager. If only she knew that she would come to regret it.

Mother And Wife

Suzanne Parkinson is a busy mother of two. A dedicated parent who loves nothing more than to provide her children with all the love and attention they need. But as a military wife, it hasn’t been a smooth ride.

And this restaurant experience was just another one of those moments that made her nostrils flare and her blood boil.

Nothing Is As It Seems

Suzanne has spent most of her married life unemployed and in a constant state of worry, so when she encountered ignorance, it was hard for her to keep quiet.

Since she married her military sweetheart, she has learned to live life with agility. In the military, things can change in an instant, which can sometimes make her feel overlooked. Thus, she began to fight for what she thought she deserved.

Sad And Lonely

It was that time of year again. The one where she’s left alone to look after her kids and take care of the house, missing and worrying about her husband who’s deployed overseas yet again. It never gets easier. Each goodbye is as bitter as the last. She hates it.

It’s no surprise that her emotions were already running high even before she looked into his unfeeling eyes.

Claiming Her Military Spouse Perks

Suzanne and her kids were joined by her father-in-law as they went to Cici’s Pizza in Norfolk to celebrate her son’s 10th birthday.

Nothing like a light-hearted gathering to lift her mood. It was also no harm that her meal would be cheaper than most – a military spouse perk she always looked forward to. But things weren’t about to go as planned.
