Sure you can, and will someday, if nothing bad happens. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I guess it is, in some ways. Seniors have to pay more for life insurance and health insurance are the first things that come to mind.

Yeah, but you probably eat more; at least I did when I was younger. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
And of course I felt the same way you do when I was younger. I knew many of the seniors who got discounts when they had more money and could afford higher prices a lot better than I could. However, I also know many seniors who don't have much money and can't afford to eat out very often.
I've kind of enjoyed kidding with you, but I guess the bottom line for me is that I figure it should be up to the business owner as to what he charges. If you or I, either one, don't like his prices or his pricing practices, we're free to go elsewhere, and do. I've never asked for a discount, but yes, I take it when it's offered. And the fact is that we eat more often at places that do not offer a discount than we do at places that do.
