My dispensary calls it a " wisdom discount" lol.

Damn, that starts tomorrow. Totally forgot about the 55 and older thing.

LOL total Gen X.
I got my first 55+ discount at the Center For Puppetry Arts museum in Atlanta. They have a great Jim Henson wing.

Go to Denny’s and get the 55+ chicken fried steak meal. You get a choice of sides, and it’s pretty good. Around $10.

Bonus! I love some cfs!
Big-Sheepherder-6134@reddit
Me too! The Denny’s one is frozen and preformed but decent enough.

I got a 55+ discount once, from a woman who was clearly in her 70s, except I wasn’t even close to being 55 😭. I tried to take solace in the money I saved.

I’m at a stage in life if anyone offers a discount I just say yes. I don’t care if some cashier thinks I’m older than I am.

The first time I got a senior discount I wasn’t sure if I should be happy or sad! I soon decided I would take the money!
Krazy_Kat_Lady_2025@reddit
Heck yeah. If they don't card you, you get whatever they give you! My husband has salt and pepper hair and glasses and he usually gets an automatic discount if he plays golf during the week because they assume he must be an old retired guy. He's 52.

I usually show up there like Jim from Taxi, ready for those special Latka cookies.
Mededitor@reddit
I usually forget to ask for it, but with so much stuff going digital you probably get it a lot automatically. One of the few perks of aging.

In Canada Sobey’s just ended their senior’s discount.
I don’t expect many discounts for us will exist by 2030

I realized after a while that the Taco Bell near work was giving me a senior discount every time I went there. I just never looked at the receipt.
CardinalM1@reddit
I remember going into my final year of high school and thinking that would make me eligible for "senior" discounts. D'oh.
Fair-Wishbone-1190@reddit
The casino I go to gives senior discounts also at age 50 plus. I was shocked that I was actually old enough to qualify. 😫
AssistantAcademic@reddit
Shoot. I got my first in my early 30s. Punk kid at the grocery store couldn’t tell the difference between 30 and 55
TouchingTheMirror@reddit
Shit – I’m going to have to remember to ask if there’s a “senior discount” the next time I go to a dispensary.
Neat_Ad_3268@reddit
Yes. We're going out to dinner at 4 to celebrate!
TiredWillie24@reddit
I about to got 60, and the world is going to open up a bit more.
rhedd_wood@reddit
lol I get that now at the weed place too! It’s not a 55+ discount, though, it’s the “Cool Kids” discount.
TransportationNo8300@reddit
I'm going to be 58 this year I didn't even think to ask for a senior discount lol
Zevilone@reddit
Ihop hooked me up, even though I’m not close to 55 yet 😂

If any of you use T-Mobile, I started getting $5 off per month when I turned 55.
bendingoutward@reddit
Got my first about 12 years early.
The lesson I learned was to not shave for a week or two before I head to the auto shop.
radioactivecat@reddit
Wait. What!? Now that’s something to look forward to
