Citizens, that is, not students.
The Englishman and I stopped for lunch last week at a Friendly's restaurant, while out shopping. When the waitress approached and inquired if there were any Seniors at the table, the Englishman emphatically replied, "Certainly not."
"Hold on," interrupted I. Turning to our server, I asked her what the age threshold was in determining who was a "Senior." Her reply? Anyone over the age of 60.
I smiled and assured her she most certainly had two Seniors at the table.
So what did that disclosure get us?
Our waitress was quite happy to inform us we were entitled to 10% off our bill
and a free one scoop ice cream sundae. Each.
Talk about "Friendly"!!
We certainly enjoyed our lunch, made even sweeter with the discount and free ice cream for dessert.
My tip?
If you too are in the "Senior" section of life,
take advantage of your elevated status and treat yourself to a meal at Friendly's.
And don't hesitate to admit your age!
