Well that makes one of us.
I do. I want to be coddled, pampered, waited on, helped and given all the goodies I can get. I eared every damn one of them. ;)
You sound like those grandstanding liberals who thought they weren't paying enough taxes. When it was suggested that they were free to send a few extra dollars to the Federal government, I recall that their voices went quite silent.
I don’t want to pay first price. I think it was IHOP that started senior discounts at 50. A few more kicked in every 5 years or so.
I still have to ask most places, however, as years of clean living and unhealthy eating have kept me looking young.
I like senior discounts. I just don’t like Senior portion sizes. 4 oz. Steak vs. 8 oz. My stomach hasn’t shrunk!
“Starkle, starkle, little twink,
Who the heck you are you think.
I’m not under the alcafluence of inkahol,
But the dronger I sit here, the lunker I get.”
You’re screwed, pal. If I go into Kroger on a Wednesday and use my Kroger card, it automatically knocks five percent off my bill - geezer discount. The AARP rides my ass non-stop, and I throw all their propaganda in the trash - it’s like the Grim Reaper wanting to be pen pals. I’ll only be 55 in July and my doctor already has me using handi-crip placards hanging from my rear-view mirrors for various ailments. And I have less gray hair than many co-workers twenty years my junior. From the neck up, I’m still 22. The rest of me reminds me that I’m not anymore. So, I finally just decided to embrace the suck, and milk it for every penny it’s worth. I figure it like this: if I have to ride down that long, slow bunny slope to terminal geezerhood, I’m gonna enjoy the skis I’m wearing. Just lock up your daughters. I got money and little blue pills to compensate for the mileage on the odometer.
Any time I can save money, I’m saving money.
You know I sell at fairs and even being 60 plus, as well as a veteran it chaps my behind to no end when asked for a discount. I make each item and it is priced very reasonable...Can’t get it from China...Ha!
I was just thought about this the other day....
And GET OFF MY LAWN punk....
That was/is my exes ‘perfect storm’
If the clerk asks if she ‘rates’ the discount she gets an attitude because they asked.
If the clerk DOESN’T ask, she gets an attitude because she wasn’t asked.
I was in a Wendys and some woman was in front of me having a ‘problem’ with the ‘guest worker’...she waa finishing up and someone came out of the back, took my order and gave me my ‘discount’.
The lady said DISCOUNT this idiot didn’t offer me one
“The ‘new guy’ said...Surely Madam you can’t be a day over 45”...she got a laugh, he gave her a cookie”
Are we ALL supposed to be upset if our SS check doesn’t have another hundred bucks or so???? <: <: <:
If you buy booze ask the nice clerk if he/she would like to see your I.D. They usually play along and it might make you feel better.
Happy birthday?
Knock yourself out. I’ll take your discount as well as mine.
When you were a kid in a restaurant, did you resent getting the “child’s portion?”
I recommend you take the discount and pass forward the sum total of all your discounts to a person in need or a charity of your choice.

Senior discount? Hell yes!
