I don't mind it at all, I love getting discounts! In fact, I shop at my local grocery store on a certain day of the week to get an EXTRA 15% off, and whenever I go to a restaurant (even fast food drive-thru lanes!) I ask for their "Senior Discount". I get anywhere from 10-20% off my bill!
The funniest thing that happened was back when I was in FL, and my ex-partner and I had gone to Denny's one night. I figured I would just order off the Senior menu, and then SHE said she was going to as well! (and she is not yet 50, so doesn't merit the "senior status" yet, and in fact she CRIES when she talks about how she is scared and depressed at being 49 next Feb!). She DOES like a bargain, though, so is not adverse to a white lie to get one!
