Completely nonexistent.

Paying tabs for military personnel would work fine, I guess, but Police, FD even Ambulance personnel are prohibited by law to accept "freebies" while on the job. Is interpreted as a bribe. (I'm sure for military too, but they seldom, besides the Privates use their uniform in the civilian environment.)

If I had Police eating at my restaurant and would suggest "you eat for free today guys" they; #1 would be very embarrassed, #2 would be prohibited from accepting, #3 would break the law if did.

I wouldn't mind doing it, I think it's a nice gesture in the US to appreciate these professions that one day may save your life etc... But even treating them to a free ice-cream would make for an awkward situation.

I would not give up my first class seat though!
