Senior discounts = Mad Wife

[riverrat]

My wife and I don't dine out very often. We've both had weight loss surgery so neither of us eat very much at a sitting.
Occasionally when we do dine out somewhere a teenager behind the register will give us a senior discount. Both of us are 54
so technically don't qualify. But hey, a dollar saved and all.
But Denise always goes into a slow burn over it. And it probably doesn't help when I tease her about it. I'm surprised I'm not
on a milk carton.

I have the opposite, I always have to ask for a senior discount because no-one believes I'm over 60 ( not complaining there) ...well truth is I never ask..but hubs will always ask for me , even though he's not old enough to qualify himself, he thinks we should get everything we're entitled to we pay enough into the system,

We don't get many perks in life so we should all be thankful and graciously accept what is offered.

To a teenager, everybody over 40 looks ancient.

I’m at that point in my life where nobody asks me anymore. They just give it. Must be the turkey neck.

Many senior discounts begin at age 50 - (NOT 60).

The last time I dined out the senior discount was only .50 cents, almost not worth asking for, but I do it anyway.

I make sure I get my senior discounts now that I'm qualified, and the ages on different discounts vary depending on who is giving the discount. For my annual state park pass, the senior discount only starts at age 64 and older.

You do look young Holly, nice avatar. They're still carding me when I buy a 6 pack of beer at the supermarket, so they must think I'm not 21 yet.

At my age anyone under 65 is "young". I will be 86 next month.

I buy a gallon of Gallo wine once a month. They always put it through as "Age verification bypassed". LOL, no surprise there.

Many stores ask for ID from everyone for certain products, regardless of how old or young they might look. Corporate must cover their backsides.
