Perks of Growing Older
February 14, 2012
One of the perks of growing older is receiving senior discounts. I used to be self-conscious about whipping out my AARP card, after all, 50 is hardly old. I quickly got over my embarrassment when I found out how many restaurants offer senior discounts.
For example, the Wendy’s near my home offers 10 percent off to seniors. Other Wendy’s locations, I’m told, offer either the 10 percent off or at least a free or reduced price beverage. Popular family restaurants like Denny’s and IHOP also offer senior discounts. It still seems a little funny to me to be rewarded just for growing older, but if the offer is there, why not take it!
