I have a story that places it squarely in the eyes of the beholder.
Quite a few years back when I was perhaps in my early 50s my wife and I
were exploring along the Outer Banks of North Carolina on the way to see
my daughter who lives further inland. It was mid-morning and I spotted
a fast-food drive-in place and decided I'd like to stop and pick up a
cup of coffee. I placed my order with a sweet young lady who must have
been about 16 or 17. She delivered my coffee and I asked her the price.
Her reply was "23 cents". I was surprised since I had expected much
more than that and asked her to repeat the price. It came back again as
"23 cents". Then I inquired why it was so little. I was floored when
the answer came back: "Senior discount".
First time I'd ever been called a senior and I was not flattered. But I
have since come to know and love the senior discount. :-)
