Ralph: I'd like the senior discount, please.
Clerk: Yes, sir! Here's your change.
Ralph: Aren't you even going to question me??
Clerk: No, you look pretty old!
Our local paper The Orlando Sentinel, used the word “elderly” a lot especially in headlines. That was anyone over 50! I think they got complaints because I haven’t seen it used lately.
My father bought a 6 pack of beer and was carded. He was 73. totally gray. Came home and told me about it.. He has never been carded before…Boy was he proud… I had a good laugh never told him that the store more then likely got caught selling beer to a minor. He was thrilled that is all the matters….

If the person behind the counter is a teenager to them everyone over 40 looks like a senior citizen. If they ask me I take it.

On the other hand, I was carded at 35. That’s when I started to let my beard grow.
