In WA they run about $40 plus regular registration. I think my grandad pays like $85 a year. Then they make you get new plates every seven years because they might be damaged or unreadable. My grandad’s plates were pristine and they still made him pay $20 for new ones.

Also told her I was glad to get the discount since I had to use part of my money from my salary to pay for her free groceries.

Wow. I wish you had a video of that!

Thanks. I’m sure my words were wasted as she looked at me like “Huh?” but the older I get the less I find myself being able to just be quiet about issues. My grandson said that it’s okay, “Old people are supposed to be crabby”. LOL

“BTW, seniors LOVE cafeterias, why not give them a little incentive? “

You’re kidding !

I’m a Senior,my friends are seniors,and we despise cafeterias. I haven’t been to one in probably 30 years.

Table service,counter service or nothing.

Cafeterias (at least here in central Indiana) seem to be in decline. Several prominent ones in our area have closed in the last couple years and one has converted to table service.

Sorry - I don’t do videos. I just voice my opinion - probably too openly, too often and too loudly - but then I move on. Those that agree are generally just part of the choir, those that don’t probably doesn’t phase them anyway.

Nor in MA for veterans plates. Way too expensive for the slim chance it gets you out of a speeding ticket. It’s $100 every 2 years for Vet plates instead of $50 for regular. Rip off.
