I was in the Marines and waited in line at the chow hall three times a day. I won't wait in live at Golden Coral to get free food. That's just me.

Monday nights are typically slow or dead nights in restaurants . So, if you give away free food to veterans, they will usually bring somebody with them who has to pay. Instead of making almost no profit that night, you make 50% of what you make on a regular night. They would do well to offer free food to some special group every Monday or Tuesday.

There are probably no slow nights in the Villages, but if its a national restaurant chain, the local ones have to comply even though they don't need to boost.
