It's my responsibility to ask. I've forgotten at times, to ask if someone gives a military discount at a business or xx discount at a campground. There's been times when someone told me, even an hour later "hey, did you get your xx discount?" It would have NEVER crossed my mind to go back and ask for it after the fact. My response has been.. nope, completely slipped my mind.
It's nice when I get it, but it's also not a deal breaker for me either way. I don't make my mind up on where I stay, or where I eat, based on the discount I could qualify for. If I get it at a restaurant, I also add it back in before I figure tip.
I don't take offense one bit if people ask for proof. Im retired military, and here in my town many of the restaurants offer 10% off for active and retired military, first responders etc.. Some ask, and I show, others don't, and Im fine either way.
Bottom line - I don't expect it.. it's nice when it's avaiable and I take advantage of it, but it is not a key piece of data that influences my decision.
