Afraid that they wll ask you to prove your age for your senior discount reminded me when my husband asked me to pick up a bottle of wine when I went to the grocery store. I did this, and at the check out, the little teenager asked me for my ID. I laughed and told her that I was sure that I didn't look underage. Very seriously, she tells me that the cash register told her she had to see my ID. LOL

Thanks for the list. K-mart, 20%, if that on everything? I surely did not know about this.

I never think to ask. Manager at Burger King in our area knows my 10 year old Grandson and knows I am a senior citizen and always gives me a discount. At a Captain Ds several years ago a young Lady gave me a discount and goofy me told her I was not a senior.

My husband just turned 54, so I think he will be going shopping with me alot starting next year. lol Last September when we were in Las Vegas (a business trip for my husband), I went to McDonald's to get my coffee. I had not showered yet, so no makeup and the male cashier rang up my purchase and said "I gave you the senior discount". I just smiled, paid him, took my coffee and left. I told the lady that was with me that I had to hurry and put some makeup on coz I am only 52. We had a good laugh over it.

Good to know, Thanks for making us aware that there are places that will give seniors discounts! I din't see Godfather's Pizza on your list, in my town they give you a 10%. It certainly doesn't hurt to ask!

Yes I have gotten senior discounts before I was old enough. my hair is white, I decided not to color it. But I turn 60 this year so I will be legit. :-) Fabric Hut has a 10% discount here for 60+ That's what I am waiting for. :-D
I need a hat though or maybe just a T-shirt I look awful in hats.
