Pensioner???

This afternoon on the way home from work Connor and I stopped at the little Pick 'n Pay at Comaro Crossing.  As we were leaving with the few groceries we bought my Mom called to ask if I would get some soup veggies.  I went back into the store, got the veggies and some nuts Connor wanted and went to a different till point.  The young guy rang up the two items and then put his hand in the air.  When I asked him what was wrong his response was "discount".  I was confused but anyway the controller comes along and fiddles on the keyboard, I pay and as I am walking out I check my till slip ...
 Now I know I have grey hair but REALLY!!!!  Do I look like a pensioner???

The worst thing for me is that they probably think Connor is my grandson!!!!

  2. NO!!! You don't look like a pensioner...but then again I wouldn't mind getting a 5% discount if all I have to do is accept to be called a pensioner.

  3. LOL-no you don't but I"m guessing that cashier was under 25 and in that case, to him you probably do. It's awkward to ask so maybe he has a default rule of giving the discount to anyone with grey hair. I'm considering dying mine grey so I can get discounts!! ;-)
