Should have waited until your friends left and then told the waitress that you ARE the only ones at that table. If they say, someone else was sitting there before, then you ask them if the policy means that there is only one discount per table per day. But, I rarely ask if there is a military discount, because some folks think they are offering us charity instead of patriotic respect. Since most of us can afford to pay full price for a meal, if a business wishes to get petty about it, it's better to do like you did and just brush it off as just another stupid act of idiocy.
