You Know What? I'm Okay with the Senior Discount Now.
Today, again, for the second time in umpteen visits, a local fast food restaurant gave me the senior discount on my order.
In the past I've reacted, "WTF? How old do you think I am?" Now I'm like, whatever. You want to give me a discount I don't deserve, that's okay with me. I don't care if young'uns think I'm 15 years older than I am. I'm only as old as I feel. And a buck-fifty's a buck-fifty. 😅
For years I've been secretly jealous of senior discounts. As a teen struggling to afford things on my minimum wage salary I always frustrated by it. Why do seniors get a discount? I wondered. They've had way more years to get the money!
Well, now it's my turn. I mean, technically it's not my turn for another 10-12 years for 10% off at many restaurants, hotels, etc., but why not let grab those discounts as soon as I can from whippernappers who think that everyone over 40 is 65+. That's right, kids, I remember the 1980s! I changed TV channels with a knob on the TV set! I raised and lowered windows in my first car by turning a crank! Now give me that damn 10% off. 🤣
