The cashier at my grocery store regularly asks if I’m 21 to buy a bottle of wine or the like. She knows I’m way, way, way past that! But it’s still good for a feeble chuckle, at least….
To Susan Newman. Women are know to kiss other women when they meet,and other times without it being a sexual thing. Yes the clerk is a woman, but Broomie is thanking her for being nice and brightening her spirits.
By the way, in New York a business can loose it’s liquor and tobacco license if they fail to check ID of everyone purchasing those products (beer, wine, liquor, cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco),
I was so insulted yesterday when we went to the movies, I asked if we could get a senior discount, and the guy at the ticket counter didn’t even question me. I had even taken out my driver’s license.
I prefer moments (which have happened most of my adult life) when they underestimate my age by a decade. That’s happening less and less but it’s still nice.
(Psalms 90:10 NKJV) The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years…Bonus years verily – Moses (we are told) had 50 of those, 40 of them putting up with middle-schoolers in adult bodies.

One of my mom’s favorite moments is when I – her fifth kid – went with her to get a drink, and they carded her. Not me.

One of the saddest is the first time they give you the discount on senior Tuesday and you don’t qualify……grumblegrumblegrumble

I used to get carded when I bought wine even though I was well over 21. Now, I no longer get carded when I ask for my senior discount!

Some places have a policy where they card everyone, no matter what age they are.

I enjoy senior discounts, especially with my tiny VA pension! I just turned 67 today!!!
