None of this is affecting my dignity.

Heh. When I was underage I never got carded. In fact I was often the one tasked to drive over to NY State to load up the pickinic basket. And I've been getting those senior discounts for a bit too long without any questions asked. Good times, or sumthin'.

What I see is if I let my roots grow gray for a couple months, I get an automatic senior discount at the donut shop. Have my henna day, same shop, same clerks, and charged full price.
Odin's hanging out with me, have not descended into yoga pants sloth. Speaking of sloths, two toed, or three toed sloths?

I imagine that sloths don’t have to count to more than two or three. I like this one.

True, a real sloth would never bother to count. Explains some musicians.

Thanks for the heads up for this interesting thread. That bass certainly has a story to tell.
Sloths in yoga pants.....this is but one of my favorite things.
Yeah, I pretty much always get the olde phart discount any more. There are still a few places ya gotta ask, but I'll take what I can get.

Like the places that serve half a portion for 80 percent of the price of the full portion? Nobody would really do that to anyone, right?
I find that I have to ask if I’m not offered a discount. The person at the cash is usually just trying to hurry. I don’t think that it’s on purpose on their part. Sometimes I forget to ask though.

Never on purpose!
In the paleolithic 90s was occasionally on site with a colleague who was habitually offered a senior citizen menu. He growled a lot. It is from him I learned all the very best stories begin with it began innocently enough ....
Another colleague had a lunch routine that never changed - a bowl of soup and an ice cream sundae. Always, always the restaurant served her both at the same time.
It’s been so many years that I can’t eat a regular adult restaurant meal. A trio shared by a duo is enough. At the same time, I can’t stomach much of that type of “food”. So I’m usually happy with the kiddies meal.

Nobody believes my forged ID that says I'm under 12 years old. 
A lotta places will charge extra for an adult ordering a "kids" meal. WT7? 'Course if ya get it 'to go'..........
It isn’t uncommon that you place an order, they bring you the soft serve, then make you wait five minutes for the hot food. I don’t want to eat a cone while waiting in line for my food. They call it “soft serve” because it isn’t ice cream, it’s gums and fluff. Not very nutritional.

Nutrition when on the road is a challenge. As if maintaining an even keel at work isn't enough? It feels like a winter ascent of the Eiger - something worth having on your curriculum vitae, but also something you don't want to be doing right now.
