Senior Discount List
As I was waiting in line behind an older gentleman at Wendy’s recently, I heard him ask for his senior discount. The girl at the register apologized and charged him less than she first quoted. When I asked the man what the discount was, he told me that seniors over age 55 get 10% off everything on the menu, every day! Being of “that” age myself, I figured I might as well ask for the discount too. This incident prompted me to do some research, and I came across a list of restaurants, supermarkets, department stores, travel deals and other types of offers giving various discounts with different age requirements. I was actually surprised to see how many there are and how some of them start at the young age to 50. This list may not only be useful for you, but for your friends and family too.
In restaurants, one piece of advice given to everyone concerning senior discounts is to simply ask your server before you order. Ask them, “Do you have any senior discounts?” If you do this ahead of time, you’ll know if there is a special menu that might be available. It may have additional offerings, smaller portions, and/or better value for your money. The worst that can happen is they say “No”.
