"Ma'am, I Gave You The Senior Discount"

[fureverywhere]

See when it's giving my birthdate to buy nicotine lozenges I will joke feeling flattered, oh yes I am over twenty one. But tonight I was at Taco Bell ordering for the kids. My hearing is shot when there is background music. I can lip read pretty good but missed what the cashier was saying. Yup, finally I got it and dear gawd...without face paint I am a washout. But yayyyy senior discounts

It's sad. Nobody even asks me anymore.....they just automatically give it to me.

On the other hand, I bought two bottles of wine at Target last week and got carded. I know that all places are supposed to card anyone who looks younger than 35, but...DAMN....I haven't looked under 35 since I was...uh...35. What would be the purpose of carding an old grey-haired hag who couldn't fool a hermit who's been sitting on a rock for the last 50 years? I'd need a bag over my head that reaches to my shins (I DO have rather young-looking ankles) to look under 35.

Target here in Hilo cards everyone - even a 70 year old fella like me! I kinda like it....

Maybe your fifties is the tipping point. Not yet senior citizen but dang anyways...I can appreciate a good discount.

I actually cringed walking into the health food store earlier this week when I noted a sign stating it was senior discount Wednesday. Over 60. I was terrified they would ask but gratefully didn't. I'm avoiding that place on Wednesday.
