I don't see why anyone should get offended that they're getting older.
or how about when they give you the senior discount without bothering to ask.Originally Posted by Yosemite
The checkout lady at the grocery store asked if I get senior discount.
Went shopping at a grocery store near me and it was senior day (a branch of my bank is there). I picked up a couple of things and went to the express line. The clerk has been there for years and I believe that the senior gentleman checking out has been in his line a number of times. The clerk automatically gives him the senior discount and the guy says, "Aren't you going to ask me for my ID?"Originally Posted by Yosemite

Oh I have no problem with the discount but they make you show proof and I'm 3 years shy of the proof.Originally Posted by gemlady
Yosemite? Getting those discounts isn't all that bad these days. (But my Mom often had to prove she was old enough to get them.)
Zellers allows senior discount at 55 - I was so excited. Our daughter laughed so much, she said she never saw anyone so excited about getting older.Originally Posted by butzie
