Discounts for us OLD folks 50+. Pass it on to those who qualify.
As I was waiting in line behind an older gentleman at Wendy's recently,
I heard him ask for his senior discount. The girl at the register
apologized and charged him less. When I asked the man what the discount
was, he told me that seniors over 55 gets 10% off everything on the
menu, every day.
Being that age myself, I figured I might as well ask for the discount
too. As I waited for my turn, I thought about the consequences of
doing so. If the employee asked me for I.D., it could be embarrassing
having to show my license. But if she didn't ask for proof, I would get
depressed that I really did look "old" and that I didn't need to prove
it. Since I always like to save money, I boldly asked for the discount,
and sadly she just rang up the discount (even though I am convinced I
don't look a day over 54).
Anyway, this incident prompted me to do some research, and I came
across a list of restaurants, supermarkets, department stores, travel
deals and other types of offers giving various discounts with different
age requirements. I was actually surprised to see how many there are
and how some of them start at the young age of 50.
Hmmmm, Dunkin Donuts gives free coffee to people over 55. If you're
paying for a cup every day, you might want to start getting it for free.
