Senior Discount

I started this post in early January:

I bought my new nail clippers on a day when the drugstore offered a senior discount.

You may remember my talking about nail clippers. I didn't get very far with the post. I haven't really decided how I feel about senior discounts. I am still working through that ambivalence.

I received a discount this week, unasked.

My son has a tradition of taking donuts for the percussion section to celebrate their concerts. This time he said to splurge on two dozen. I went that afternoon and picked them out. I paid for them with my reward card with $.07 due. That's another story. And it wasn't "Eat In". That would be great fun eating two dozen donuts at the store. But I am sidetracked.

Do I tell them that the donuts are for high school students, who are supposed to repay me, and insist on paying full price? Is it a slippery slope to buying alcohol for teens?

I just thanked them. After all, $1.80 is just almost two bucks.
