Default Who here doesn't mind a good Senior Discount?

I know 99% of the old **** members here are big ballers, shot callers who live in Florida and light their cigars with 100 dollar bills but what about the rest of us who like to save a nickle here or 50 bucks there? What are your deals?

What does your status as a boomer get you? @TheRealBadger say you?

Why does every Corvette enthusiast absolutely have to be a jort wearing old ****? Some of us aren't 50!

Many places are eliminating or reducing, senior and military discounts. IIRC Lowes and Tractor Supply, among others, has done so. But, I'm very comfortable and still use them - why wouldn't I....?

I'm 45 and have owned 5 Corvettes over the last 18 years. No jorts in my wardrobe.

But, get off my lawn anyway.

I’m plenty old enough, but I don’t go anywhere that offers discounts. Life is too short to fret over that stuff.

The only one I know of is Subway.

I buy two foot longs about every other month. Couldn't tell you how much the discount is but it feels good to get it... Like a cop getting a free donut or something

Yeah, because the AARP is a left-wing commie organization that is happy to start 'em young. Just like their boyfriends.

Not true....I still get the military discount at lowes and home depot. I never ask for a "senior" discount but will ask for the first responder discount at the auto parts store. Saves me hundreds!

I notice a lot of stores are now charging 3% or more if you use a debit/credit card. So fukem....Ill take any discount I can get!

Jorts/white New Balance wearer here. I draw the line at black socks, though.

I don't wear jorts, just cargo shorts. I look pretty bad ass with a polo short riding into the Harley Dealer. Walking around among the Sleeveless Leathered.

They don't want to take the chance of getting their ass kicked by a old vet dressed like a *****. Would be bad for the image.
Either that or they see the outline of my 9mm through my shirt.

Umm... what are SHARTED SHORTS? Is this some sort of code for "unwashed" when you old geezers forget to stock up on Depends?

Senior discount? I'll have to get back to you in a decade or so.
