Old F'er benis'
Few Beni's out there, for us old F'rs. I usually ask for military discount but forget about the Senior angle. After reading and posting the below... FINALLY ... .joined AARP for yet more beni's
Rob'd this from elsewhere, just for you 
"I was at Wendy's recently; I heard a guy ask for his senior discount. The girl at the register apologized and charged him less. When I asked the man what the discount was, he told me that seniors over age 55 ...get 10% off everything on the menu, every day. (But you need to ASK for your discount.)
This incident prompted me to do some research, and I came across a list of restaurants, supermarkets, department stores, travel deals and other types of offers giving various discounts with different age requirements. I was actually surprised to see how many there are and how some of them start as young as 50.
This list may not only be useful for you, but also friends and family, too.
Dunkin Donuts gives FREE coffee to people over 55. If you're paying for a cup every day, you might want to start getting it FREE.
YOU must ASK for your discount!
