I have been getting the "senior" discount since I was about 25. I starting turning gray at 17. At first I got upset but after a few dollars you can just smile and run to the bank.

I was shopping with my older aunt (who had snow white hair) and they gave me the disount--in my 40's, and did not give it to her. She couldn't wait to get home and call and tell everyone. Until the day she died, she'd get a funny look on her face and start laughing and I always knew what she was thinking.

AARP has been trying to get my business since I was 41. I would rather have your discount.

Our senior center accepts memberships if you are 50 or older, so it just depends on what the establishment rules are-- I agree with the others who say "take the money and run" (run to the nearest fabric store and add to you stash :)

My hair was prematurely white.
Inherited from maternal grandparents.
Started when I was a senior in high school.

I was given a discount at 42.
Colored now but I am letting is
grow off. It looks awful but
I m getting there.

I worked hard to get old enough for these discounts! Besides, this is $10 that can go towards fabric! Congrats!

Remember to the young people who work in these restaurants (and other places) anyone over "30" is "old". Enjoy the discounts!!!

Ha! I was checking out at Joann's and the cashier put a senior discount coupon in my bag. I said, "I'm not a senior." She said, "Maybe you know someone who is."

I was not in a good mood and kind of offended. I'm 47.
