Today, in a coffee shop, I purchased two doughnuts and cup of coffee, a regular order which I've bought many times before. Today the cost was $1 less and when I inquired why, I was told, "I gave you the senior's discount." Their policy is a senior discount for anyone over 55. I turned 50 last week. FML

Lol when I used to McDonalds I'd give the coffee discount to anybody who looked that they /could/ be over 55, even if I didn't know for sure. Why? It saved me the trouble of asking, and nooo manager was paying attention if I gave it to somebody under the age. And tbh there was many, many seniors who were so picky about getting their discount, it just became a habit. I don't think it's fair to say why the discount was issued, and for OP to assume they suddenly looked much older or something. I
