The McDonald’s I get my coffee at frequently gives me a discounted senior coffee. I figured it was because they liked me, or they just like rewarding their frequent fliers, not because of all the gray in my beard.
But some time ago I was at a McDonald’s in downtown Kansas City and they gave me a senior discount as well. And then last month I went to another McDonald’s in yet another town and got the same discount.
I’m not saying I don’t appreciate it. But I really didn’t think I looked that old.
The only other explanation is that women working at McDonald’s restaurants all over Missouri are all hitting on me, and that’s not really rational.
My friend Kay wrote about a similar experience some time ago, but I don’t think she appreciated it so much.
