Bonefish Grill honors military discounts and my wife and I are both 20+ year veterans. She returned with our credit card and told us that since “the table” used a gift certificate already we were ineligible to receive the customary military discount for our meal - only one discount to the same table regardless if on separate bills as a matter of “corporate policy”.
Sounded irrational to me but decided not to embarrass my wife, my neighbor or myself to call in a manager for a couple of bucks and let it go. But still…
My wife and I were dining together on a separate check, the neighbor paid her bill first while we waited to pay ours. Again, it just doesn’t make a bit of sense
What say ye??

It makes perfect sense.
You said there was a "$10 Promotion Certificate" used at your table? I'm sure the terms of the Prom Certificate probably said only 1 "per table". If you and your friends ate at different tables, it would have been a different circumstance, most likely.
"Promos" are designed to bring folks into a restaurant, who might not otherwise go there, not to bring in more people who are sniffing around for a further discount.
How much of a "promo discount" do you think you and your friends are
entitled to?
