So I just got back from Kroger to buy a sack of stray cat food with the beer money Bradley sent me (thank you), and the dude took a dollar off for the 10% Senior Discount! What the hell?! I'm fifty one. Didn't ask or anything.
I admit I'm a bit hung over (again, thank you Brad), but how the hell bad must I look today? Damn! Dont know if I'm happy or sad. Probably the Alzheimers kicking I guess.

Just noticed I left off the 'in' in 'Alzheimers kicking in'. Dammit. Guess I deserve that dollar off.

Either you are a very distinguished looking 51 year old or the cashier is in need of glasses.

Since I started getting grey hair in my late 20's, I have been getting senior discounts for a very long time. Once I tell the cashier my age, they are too embarrassed to remove the discount. I never ask for it. FYI, my mother was snow white, by the time she was in her 30's.
The picture of me is about 10 years old. I was probably in my early 40's then.

My dad's hair was mostly white in his 40s. My mom's stayed black until she was 80. Mine is slightly more salt than pepper and it looks like a will stay that way. |

If I order off the senior discount menu at iHop, the waitress last tim said “ you must be at least 62, you have a while yet. So I took out my drivers license and showed her. Her response...” holy crap your 66, sure hope I look like you at 66 “! I then asked her “ why do you want to be a man “? She had no idea what I meant.

 Funny story, we took my Dad out for a movie, he didn’t go any where, now I’m like him, he was fiercefully indepent and did not want us to pay for him. So he goes up to the box office and says I want one ticket I’m retarted, Wife shouts Sanford you’re retired not retarted, he says What’s the difference.!

As I read that I was thinking, 'she wants to be a man?' Great minds think alike! And simnettpratt - I'm not sure how I'd feel about that. It's nice that you got the discount, but still. I'm still hoping for student discount. |

Senior discounts can start as young as age 50, or at 55, 60, 62, 65, etc. If they'll give me one (53), I'll certainly take it. (I looked old for kindergarden, so I'm used to that. ). |

poor hubby looks young for his age. He 52 but everyone thinks he is in his late 30s. They don't believe him when he tries to correct them. He may not look his age, but now he's feeling much older than he is.

I suspect because I was handling my parents affairs by then, but never the less ...  |

I'm more pissed about getting carded when I buy booze at Winn-Dixie than I am about getting a senior citizen discount.
Then again, today I was asked if I would be interested in a job as Santa Claus for a professional photographer.
