I was offended the first time I was asked if I was retired. What a shock that is to think you now look old enough to be retired, when your own self perspective had you still looking young. That takes some getting used to.
Actually, I do recall going into a restaurant long before retirement age, and the very young wait person asked if we wanted the senior discount. I was gobsmacked! I may have been late 40s -early 50s, at the time. It’s funny how we think we are still young, but the very young think we are dinosaurs. Lol @PatKirby
You're right. I recall as a teen my uncle telling me about 50s songs and I would make face and say that's ancient history. He'd be so sad looking. Now I'm the one looking sad when the whipper snappers laugh at my 80s Jurassic era music, hahaha 😂
@JimboSaturn I had a female friend who was very petite, worked for Bentley Motors (owned by VW) in her mid-30s and drove an Audi TT. She was buying a few bottles of champagne in a major supermarket and was asked for ID lol
This is a good thing. It shows they immediately recognize your maturity level and a circle of trust and respect are built that you'll continue to solicit their services. A win-win situation!
