Senior discount? S...E...N...I...O...R... Discount. For seniors.

[Left Is Write]

A little while ago, I was shopping - buying some videos and DVDs for the gym daycare.

As she was ringing up my purchases, the cashier looked at me and said, "Would you like the senior discount?"

I wasn't sure I had heard her. "I'm sorry, what?"

"Would you like the senior discount?"

:wow:



That loud THUD you all may have heard was me, hitting the floor.

1. Maybe a discount for college seniors

Other than that, I mean you don't look a day over ...

I'll finish that thought later, I gotta run ...

:hi:

:rofl:

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. THAT'S FUNNY!!

I SAID,

THAT'S FUNNY!!!

NO, NOT BUNNY -

FUNNY!!!

'FUNNY!!', WITH AN 'F'

:rofl:

[madinmaryland]

:hi:

5. Well, it wasn't my money.

And I was pretty shocked. And not pleased.

4. I got the same thing about 10 years ago

at a hotel in newport, ri. (maybe to other people early 40's look like mid 50's)

[Left Is Write]

6. I'd prefer not to look early fifties until I get there.

:P

[Beer Snob-50]

20. gotta agree with you

although, shit, i am just about there.

[Gormy Cuss]

7. You shoulda said

"Eventually, yes but today it would be inappropriate."

[redqueen]

8. Ahaahahahaha... oh my god...

did you not laugh in their face? I doubt I could have helped myself. I then would have proceeded to tell them how rough it was, crossing the plains in a covered wagon.

9. Always answer Yes!

Always answer Yes! to that question. Then if they ask for ID or such to prove your 65 pretend you had no idea what you were saying yes to.

And the whole time you can smile and chuckle inside, about the stupid little shit who thinks anyone over 35 is a senior citizen.

[DS1]

10. HA

HA

[Left Is Write]

11. You laugh now, funny boy.

Wait until they ask you.

:P

[Kajsa]

12. OK- you may be way too young for them,

but I just entered that " golden senior discount" age group last year.

I friggin love 'em and ask for them all the time.

PS- I'm 56 and STILL try when the limit is 65.

I know- my bad. :blush:

[Left Is Write]

13. I'm 41.

I've got nothing against seniors and senior discounts, but usually the minimum age is 55. It was a little disconcerting to realize that this girl thought I am about 15 years older than I actually am.

[Kajsa]

16. Holy crap!

That kid needs an eye exam!

You have a ways to go, my dear.

:hi:

[Robb]

14. What, you expected to get carded?

:rofl:

I'm with the posters who say get every discount you can. Or, as my dad says, "Time to AARP up!" :D

[Left Is Write]

15. No.

But I certainly didn't expect to be asked about the senior discount.

Say it with me, folks. I'm only 41!

This is a recent, unretouched photo of me:



That one little question threw me into a self-image crisis!

[billyskank]

17. That is outrageous.

:o

:hi:

[Left Is Write]

18. Hey! I tried to call you this afternoon.

About five minutes after the senior discount incident occurred.

[billyskank]

19. I'm sorry.

I have kept my cell off most of the time to conserve the battery. :hug:

[sasquatch]

21. I bet your SO will be getting a kick out of this

:rofl:
Would you like to borrow my paddle?
:rofl:

[Left Is Write]

23. You mean my 33-year-old husband? Yeah...

he'd better be sympathetic if he knows what's good for him.

[sasquatch]

25. Again I offer my paddle

:evilgrin:

[LeftyMom]

22. You don't even look your age.

:wtf:

[catmandu57]

24. I got the senior discount a couple of weeks ago

without even asking. I was looking at the receipt the next morning and I see 1.35 senior discount, hey I'll take it even though I'm a couple of years away.

[Guava Jelly]

26. I hope i look as good as you when i hit your age

Shit!! I am your age and you still look better..grrr!!!

[ThomCat]

27. No Way!

Either that's someone who just loves to give people discounts, or you've been dissed.

Either that company should be upset, or you should be. I don't know which. :(

[Hugin]

28. Awe, she thought you were in High School...

How sweet! :)

[Oeditpus Rex]

29. That's...

beYOND ridiculous. I mean, christ, you look like 35. :wtf:



Was the cashier a kid? :shrug:

[KitchenWitch]

30. Whoa

In all your photos you do not look a day over 30...

:hug:

[Sugar Smack]

31. It's only cause your blonde hair looks white in some lights.

:pals: If you dressed young, say, tee shirts and jeans, you would never be asked that. What were you wearing, m'dear?

[Left Is Write]

34. Jeans, a long-sleeved t-shirt, a zip-front hoodie, and a jean jacket.

[calico1]

32. I took a day off a couple of months ago and

it must have been senior discount day. I was paying for some stuff at Kohl's. I was behind two women. One looked to be around 70 the next one around late 50's. So the girl gives the first lady her discount. The second one reminds her that she is a senior so she gets the discount. I pay for my stuff and as I am walking out the store and checking my receipt and notice that in addition to the sales and a 15% coupon I had I see another 10% discount. So I think maybe it is some unannounced sales or something. Until I look closer. It was a senior discount! I thought WTF! I was a little mad. Okay....but I guess not mad enough to go back and tell the girl to take the 10% off. :D

[qnr]

33. Well, you were senior to her (not "a senior") n/t

[madrchsod]

35. i got a "senior" coke at mc donald's

my daughter thought that was hilarious....

[Dangerously Amused]

36. May I venture a guess as to what really happened?

I worked in retail for many years, and I can almost guarantee you that the cashier was a relatively inexperienced young lady who recently got her butt chewed out by a true "senior" who had to come all the way back to the store for a refund because s/he didn't get his/her senior discount the when s/he made the purchase in question. That, or the cashier just received a reprimand from her manager because she has been the subject of complaints re: the fact that she is not offering the senior discount when she is supposed to. So now she is being overly cautious, at the risk of offending non-seniors.

Really that is the only plausible explanation, because... you DO NOT look like a senior, dear. Not by a mile.

37. I'd heard 40 is the new 30 before

but when did 40 become the new 70? :wtf:


Kids today and their math...:eyes:
