I was offered the Senior Discount today. I'm 51.

[Auggie]

First time that's happened.

Damn it.

:grr:

[PassingFair]

1. I got an AARP card in the mail on Saturday...

I'm 49...

:puke:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

20. If it makes you feel better, AARP sends me stuff ALL the time

I'm 26.

[PassingFair]

22. Yeah...but your card was an AARPP card.

American Association of Really Pretty People.

Mine's the other kind.

:cry:

[MrCoffee]

2. Did you laugh all the way to the bank?

SUCKERS!!! Muah ha ha ha!

[HopeHoops]

3. Screw being offended - TAKE THE DISCOUNT!

[Shell Beau]

4. Did you take the discount?

[Auggie]

6. No. Mr. Indignant here had to ask, "Do I LOOK like I'm 65???"

Next time though...

[Shell Beau]

7. I just turned 30 and I even hate saying that, so I will be like you I am

sure and be a little offended! ;)

[Tangerine LaBamba]

23. WRONG!!!!!

First time that happened to me was at Fuddrucker's a LONG time ago, and I was startled, until I realized I was being waited on by a fetus. I had the good sense to ask how much the discount was, and whatever it was (who remembers?), I took it.

Take 'em all......................

[RebelOne]

36. Senior discounts usually are for those 55 and up.

If you are only 51, you are only a few years away from it.

[IntravenousDemilo]

5. Take it.

In these times (or any times, when I come to think of it), if you don't grab whatever entitlements you have, those offering are just going to take the money and use it to get into mischief. If you deserve the discount, grasp it with both hands.

Not doing so is like having full medical coverage from your employer and not taking advantage of it by getting regularly scheduled checkups from your GP, your eyes looked at by an optometrist, your teeth cleaned by a hygienist, that mole removed, etc.

[GoneOffShore]

8. Hey, take the damn discount. I'm 61 and never get offered it.

Bastards.

[no name no slogan]

9. Nice post, granddad

There's nothing wrong with getting old. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[Auggie]

10. LOL

Granddad -- holy fuck.

[Mari333]

11. I love the discounts

and have told people I am 60 even when I was 50 so I could get them in another town. I love being old! lotta perks

[The empressof all]

12. ROFL.....

I caught myself just the other day telling my daughters college friends about growing up without a microwave. They were wide eyed and I was just :scared: because I sounded just like my grandmother when she use to tell her stories about growing up without indoor plumbing......


Take the discount..If you don't need it give it to the foodbank....

Circle of life sucks sometimes but that big wheel keeps on turning..and..Just be glad you saw Tina in her day!

[Tangerine LaBamba]

24. I enjoy it most

when telling youngsters about sex in the sixties.

They stare, wide-eyed and open-mouthed.

I rub it in.

It's the last pleasure I have left.......................

[monmouth]

13. I remember the first time I was called "ma'am"....Yuk...n/t

[Auggie]

16. I remember sir. Yuk indeed.

[WinkyDink]

18. Likewise. College football game, food-stand. I was NOT HAPPY!

[Tangerine LaBamba]

25. That's one of the virtues of living in the South

I've been called "Ma'am" since I moved here at the tender age of 28.

Now, when I notice it, I like it.

[tigereye]

14. that happened to me last year- it's the silver fox problem

what are ya gonna do? What bugs me are people thinking I can't carry anything for myself because I have some silver hair.


I'm 50, not dead.

[Critters2]

32. It is the hair. It never happened to me until I stopped coloring my hair,

Then, presto change-o, I'm old!

[tigereye]

35. no, you are wise!

I kind of like the "silver fox" image, myself. ;)

[trof]

15. Shoney's gives it at 50.

That was my first.
17 years ago.
Now?
They don't even ask if I qualify.
They just take a look at my face.
It's got 'geezer' written all over it.
;-)

[EastTennesseeDem]

17. When I used to have a job at the zoo

God, how I hated it when a fringe maybe-or-maybe-not-senior showed up. Would charging him less offend him? Or would charging him more make him think I'm ripping him off?

Senior discounts are hell for people in the service industry who have them.

[old mark]

19. Just wait - it gets much worse....nt

[Ivan Sputnik]

21. Sometimes they'll give it to any middle-aged person

who is polite to them and that they like, whether or not they look 65. This happens in fast-food restaurants, anyway.

[RushIsRot]

26. I am 67 and seldom have that discount offered. ENJOY!

[Mollis]

27. People still ask me if I want the kids menu

:(

[Critters2]

29. It's funny. I don't know you and yet.

I don't like you! ;-)

[Critters2]

28. Happened to me last week. I was at Wendy's, and the manager

was training a newbie. She rings the stuff up, and then the manager leans over and hits the keyboard, and says "Don't forget the 15% discount." I wondered why I was getting a discount, when the newbie says, "Oh, yeah. That's easy for me to forget about, since I'm only 23." Then I got it! And thought..."Hey!" :grr:

[Left Is Write]

30. I was offered a senior discount at age 41.

:(

[auntAgonist]

31. At Kroger's they carded me for a bottle of wine, at Wendy's I got free

coffee because they thought I was a senior :rofl:

I'm 52 btw.


I'll take the discount.

aA
kesha

[GoddessOfGuinness]

33. I got carded on my 50th...

But they card everybody. Still, it was a thrill.

[DFW]

34. I must be living in the wrong place

I'll be 57 this year, and have never been offered a senior discount
