I’m seeing more and more ‘senior discount’ entries on my receipts these days, LOL. This is mostly at cafeterias and restaurants.

I have no problem with "senior discounts", and my grandparents enjoyed them.

They were of the WWII/Depression era and had very little savings.

They would have stayed at home and NOT gone out to a restaurant without them.

However, 30 years on, the "senior citizens" of today in general are pretty well off.

I'm NOT discounting the senior citizens of 2015 who are poor.

But a generation ago, this was the "norm".

Makes sense, as a senior has had literally a lifetime to acquire wealth.

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