I like to get them.

I don't like looking like I'm old enough to automatically qualify for them! :hunf:

I can see what a quandary that puts the people at the cash register or order taking in.

So - I guess the solution might be for a sign to be up saying "ask for a senior discount if you are *** years old (or older)"

I have never looked my age, so I don't mind telling. I'll take any discount I can get.

Work in fast food. We can't win. If we offer it or just give a
discount we get do I look that young? We we don't then they wait till the transaction is complete and want a discount. Which backs up everyone with voiding the order to give the discount. If you want and or deserve it ask when ordering. Makes no difference to us but it's a lot easier and faster for all concerned. Remember sometimes that a discount is available to only the person who is old enough. Not the entire order.

I ask most of the time, but my 85 year old mother is usually with me and jabs me if I don't. :-o
