Old people asking for discounts? Now, that is os wrong!
Old people shouldn't pay for most things.

I worked at Caldor's a long time ago, and it was really sad to see senior citizens come in on tuesday's (senior citizen discount day, 10%) to save some money on vitamines and clothing. Some of them could only afford so little and their chlothes would have holes in them. THAT IS SAD!

But, our beautiful GOVERNMENT / SYSTEM would rather maintain your idiots that at the age of 20 are filing for welfare, and our govenments will pay for their rent and food.

Then you get people from other countries who collect money from the govenment and live outside the US.

scam here is 20-30 somethings working long enough for social security/disability and then filing for it....taking the handicapped sticker, getting the Tahoe or Escalade and then a cash-only side job.

They are perfectly heathy and able to live as if they were making decent salaries.

I live in a sunbelt retirement destination where the old folks are the richest segment of society. It chaps my butt that businesses impose higher prices on working folks to cover the subsidies for rich geezers.

Florida?

Because you usually see senior discounts everywhere so therefore it would be more financially sound for them to ask if there is one.
