Since many senior discounts are not advertised to the public, our advice to men and women over 55 is to ALWAYS ask a sales associate if that store provides a senior discount. That way, you can be sure to get the most bang for you buck.

Sub Runners offers a senior discount also. 10%, I believe.

Just called Food Lion on Nanticoke Rd since I had shopped there earlier today. They advised that they don't offer senior discounts.

Great. Promoting age discrimination. I still work for a living. We're MY discount?

Thanks. I'll make sure I keep that in mind the next time I shop at Hy-Vee.

Taco Bell and KFC used to offer free small soda to us seinors, but a couple of months ago they stopped it and only offer a 10% discount off your order. It was costing them 5 to 10 cents for soda but they figured they could make more off of old people by charging them for a soad and giving them just 10% off. They would still be ahead. I don't go there anymore when they are deliberatly trying to screw me.

11:24 - How is charging you 10 percent less than they're charging me -- merely because you managed to not die before age 55 or 60 -- screwing you?

Big Lots in Wichita Falls, Texas would not give a senior discount. We asked on August 1st 2011.
