Down side of senior discounts
In a Lewiston Tribune column, Kathy Hedberg comments:
I know I should not look a gift horse in the mouth but when the 20-something store clerk gave me the senior citizens discount recently without even asking for my ID, I was miffed.
Seriously, I had just dyed my hair. Did I really look that old? I appreciated the 10 percent off, but couldn’t he at least have asked to see my driver’s license before carte blanche giving me the cut?
And this wasn’t even a Tuesday, which is the usual senior citizen discount day, which means that it was a sympathy discount. I wanted to slap the little twerp. More here.
Question (for Seasoned Citizens): Do you get miffed when a clerk arbitrarily gives you a senior discount?
