I won’t bore you with too many details, but we had some time to kill in New Jersey. We saw a Dunkin Donuts with outdoor seating, so we pulled in. My husband and I went inside to get drinks.
As my husband paid for the drinks he saw that the clerk gave us the Senior discount.
My Husband, who is four years younger than me (four years and seven months if you are a toddler) was taken aback by this. Admittedly, my husband looks young, but whatever.
When we went to the seats outside, my husband was pretty confident the clerk gave us the senior discount because of me…
So…
I am grateful that when my Husband went inside by himself to get a bottle of water, a different clerk gave him, and him alone, the senior discount….
I went to Einstein Bagels a couple of years ago and they gave me the senior discount. I was only 48. I guess the grey in my beard is good for something

That is hysterical, the first time my husband was given the discount without asking, he asked me “Do I look that old”. I kept a straight face and said that maybe to a 16 year old you do.

These kids were probably about 16. Add that to my husbands Gap jackets that is probably older than these kids and yeah….

Probably a very young cashier. To them, anyone over 40 is clearly ancient. I wouldn’t reassure your husband with that thought, though … let him worry. It creates very distinguished lines.

I was food shopping a few days ago and the clerk asks me if I “have” the discount. I said, “what discount?” She gets a little sheepish and says, “senior citizen?” I say, “oh, how old?” She says, “62.” I say, “I’m close.” And she gives it to me anyway because she feels bad for asking. I came home and looked in the mirror, I could pass as 62, or 57, probably not 45. It’s all relative. Love that your husband got the discount solo, karma’s a bitch! Best, C
