Did you join the military, so you'd get discounted food for the rest of your life?

Didn't you get enough yet?

What about all the Firefighters out there? Police officers? Teachers? Sanitation workers? Doctors? What about them? Shouldn't they be getting discounts too?

Get an AARP Card. Most of the same business giving you a 10% "Military Discount", will give you the exact same discount, just for being old.

So....just for s*its and giggles, under your premise....why do we arbitrarily ‘discount’ seniors over 55? Because they built this country? Where does that end? I’d much rather discount a veteran or first responder than do so for ‘just being old’. Who wrote that doctrine?
