Something happened to me today that has never happened before - and it gives one pause...
I walked into a coffee shop this morning and ordered a coffee and muffin to go. The young man behind the counter entered some numbers on his computerized register and announced the total. As soon as he did, however, a puzzled look crossed his face and he said, "That doesn't sound right..." He reentered the numbers, announced a lesser amount, smiled brightly and said, "There you go! I forgot to give you the senior citizen discount."
Yes, it gives one pause...

Conoord Pastor,
ReplyDeleteYou mean AARP didn't find you back at 50? Maybe they don't know as much about the ages of clergy!
I have a child who will soon be eligible to be contacted by AARP; yes, that gives me pause all over again.
Meanwhile, please note the age at which commercial establishments consider one a senior citizen varies, and do not hesitate to take advantage of one of the few advantages of the passing years.
Wait until the day when you ask for the senior discount and someone says "I didn't think you looked old enough to get the senior discount." This has happened to me and it has really made my day. Better than a senior discount any old time!
ReplyDeleteYes, AARP found me - but that was in disposable mail: this was face to face!
ReplyDelete:-)
For years my Mom would go well out of her way to save pennies on a gallon of milk, then refuse to avail herself of her (well deserved) AARP discounts...go figure!
ReplyDeleteI loved your comments and got a good chuckle! Welcome to the wonderful world of senior discounts!
ReplyDeleteMy grandchildren were coloring a picture of me and asked for a grey crayone. Why grey - I stupidly asked. For your hair they replied.
My hair is BROWN!!!!!
Thanks for the laugh today.
Austin,

If you're getting it at 51 - I feel great having my first such incident at 61!
