Senior?

There are many definitions of a senior. How confusing.

A senior citizen is assumed to be old-ish. Depending on your own age, this ranges from 65+. If you are 70, a senior is 80 and so on.

A senior in high school is likely to be 17-19. A senior in college can be any age.

A senior partner in a law firm has no age requirement. And what about a senior senator?

AARP, whose sole purpose is to serve “seniors”, considers age 50 a qualifier.

Senior discounts are super tricky. Coffee at McDonalds, ticket at the movie theatre, drink at Taco Bell?  This is subjective depending on who is behind the counter that day. It can be awkward and feelings can be hurt. To ask or not to ask…

    I loved the senior discount at Kroger on Wednesdays until it went bye-bye. I, unlike others in my family, am never to proud to ask for the discount or use coupons. Could it be poverty epigenitics?
