KH: Age Cometh w/Discounts

Friends of mine - older than I - have assured me there are benefits to growing older. But I never experienced this myself until recently, when I went to a movie and realized I was eligible for the senior citizen discount. I was all set to pay the $8.50 regular charge when I looked at the price list and saw that, based on the fact that I am 55, I needed to pay only $6. How thrilling. I paid the ticket, bought a soda and strutted into the theater as if I’d just found money on the sidewalk. Then it hit me. When I told the ticket clerk I was eligible for the senior discount, she simply nodded and took my money. She did not even ask to see my identification. I don’t know quite how to take that. Instead of money on the sidewalk it turned out to be more like Monopoly money/ Kathy Hedberg , Lewiston Tribune. More here .

Question (for Seasoned Citizens among us): Do you take senior citizen discounts?
