Gift: Welcome, Garfield, to another birthday NIGHTMARE!
Garfield: But you're a present. What's scary about that?
Gift: Open me up!
Garfield: A senior citizen's discount card.
Gift: Bwah-ha-ha-HAAAAAH!
I cheerfully, nay, shamelessly, take advantage of every senior citizen discount there is. And why not? It’s one of the upsides of being old…the downsides are surely all too clear.
Most restaurants and other merchants have discontinued giving discounts to seniors. Now some restaurants have the “over 55 menu” which is smaller portions for slightly less price.
I still get hefty senior discounts at a couple of restaurants. Mondays at one, Wednesdays at another. Smaller discounts the rest of the week. I use senior parking where available, too.

You’ll never get AARP to stop sending you apps for overpriced insurance now.

Not much of a nightmare ’cos Garfield never pays for anything, anyway.

AARP has been trying to get me to join for the last 2 years. I suppose I’ll break down eventually.

I love Garfield. He and I were born on the very same day! Remember he’s only 33 this Sunday. Not really qualified for “senior” discounts yet.

You’re a treat, Garfield! Happy Birthday! (I send your strip to my eldest grandson each day because he loves you.)
