Kaban ni Mulong: LISTAHAN ALANG SA BINUHAT NGA NAGTUNGTONG SA BULAWANONG PANGEDARON

Keep  this list.

Send a copy to your Senior friends.      

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.

When I asked the man what the discount was, he told me that seniors over 55 gets 10% off everything on the menu, every day.
     

Being that age myself, I figured I might as well ask for the discount too. As I waited for my turn, I thought  about the consequences of doing so. If the employee asked me for I.D., it could be embarrassing having to show my license. But if she didn't ask for proof, I would get depressed that I really did look "old" and that I didn't need to prove it. Since I always like to save money, I  boldly asked for the discount, and sadly she just rang up the discount (even though I am convinced I don't look a day over 54).
     

Anyway, 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 of 50.
     

This list may not only be useful for you, your friends and family.
