You just don?t want the pretty cashier to know how old you are. ^^^^^^^^^^^^ A winner.

[:D] you got my number, don't you?
The only places I ask are places like the car wash, and I add the discount amount to the tip I leave.
Now if a car dealer offered 10%...
And we deserve it too! We have done so much for the world. At least we got old without falling off a cliff.

That's exactly what I do.... When I remember to ask for one
I saw it on the display screen and told her "nope, not yet" and told her my age. Poor girl turned beet red (I love it when readheads blush) and apologized all over herself. She didn't get the inference when I told her "It ain't the years, it's the miles". Told her to look it up on youtube. She giggled and blushed again the next time I was in the store. Did I mention I love it when redheads blush?
I don't qualify, yet, only 57, but three years ago it didn't stop the gal at the grocery store from deducting it from my total.

Actually, a lot of places give senior discounts at age 55... And anybody of any age can get an AARP card, you can enjoy the discounts given to AARP members, but you can't participate in their insurances.
I do the same thing and Im still frosted I cant get a vets ID card from the VA. Over a year and theyjust say get in line! Gonna get it on my drivers license next time its due.
Don't have to wait till your DL is due ? just take your DD214 down to Driver's License office ? get a new picture taken and your a good to go.
I do forget about having it or asking , again my frustration of owning up to getting old I guess [:D][:D]

Probably use it to go get a battery for my car if it won't take a charge.
WE FORGET TO USE THEM!
Now just what was this post about anyway![:0]
REALLY I was thinking damn if they make it to 85 couldn't we go the whole banana on sales tax??!!
All our restaurants offer senior specials, most stores offer a discount, and some even offer special parking spots.
At 72, I've been getting discounts for so long, I don't even notice when I do. Or don't. But a full head of white hair pretty much guarantees it.
I guess that keep them from having to code another discount into the system.
Now that I'm 63 I just ask "do you have a military, AAA or senior discount?"
Just the opposite in Utah - we're up to our belt buckles in bunchkins. So seniors are almost a rarity. Except at the golf course on weekdays or buffet restaurants at 4 pm. Then it's wall-to-wall wrinklies.

Had the same problem. Applied for the ID online, attached the required photo and my DD 214. Then sat and waited. After 8 months of waiting, I contacted them, via email, and was informed they could not verify my service. What? Sent another email and attached my DD214, again. Then, sent another email and attached my discharge document. Within 48hrs., or less, received an email stating my service had been verified and my ID card had been approved. In about 2 weeks, I received my ID cards.

"do you forget your seniors discount?"
"Knoe." (No?)

AARP, a marketing and LOBBYING front for insurance companies. And you can damn well bet they lobby for the benefit of insurance companies and not for the benefit of seniors. Wouldn't join them for pay.
Yep, plus they support anti-gun causes. Don't want anything to do with them.

Another Yep.
I'm 63 and many people tell me to join, that's when I go down
the list of things they support.

I must be getting old, they just look at me and give me the discount.
Who needs the VA vet card? I just went to the Secretary of State(DOT) with my DD-214 and was done in ten minutes. Vet endorsement on DL works just as well.
I started getting senior discounts at 57. What's left of my hair was white by then. I didn't ask but if they discounted the price I didn't argue.

Does that work at the VA?
I need to get certified.

They knew you qualify for a senior discount on the beer, they just didn't want you to ask for it so they would have to give it to you[;)]
