Will you be using your senior’s discount?

This is a subjective matter that, more often than not, may be found to be offensive. A family member of mine once went grocery shopping and had the cashier proudly announce to them that they had included the senior discount on their purchase. As the items were for an elderly parent, this family member first assumed that the cashier knew who the purchase was for. When it finally dawned on them that the assumption was, in fact, that they were at the discount age, this family member was not amused. Some time has passed since this incident, yet it is still discussed with just as much passion as when it first occurred.
