The Senior Coffee

I'm starting this blog cause there's gotta be a place we can rant about senior hood.
It all started when my life partner came home to tell me about his experience at McDonald's.
Wanting just a cup of coffee, and a few moments respite from the town day, he orders up the coffee, and the employee says, "That will be a dollar seven."
"What?" my man asks," I thought it was forty five cents?"
"Oh, you want the Senior Coffee" he loudly replied, stunned that anyone would actually admit to being a senior, I guess.
After my man told me this, I was insulted. Last time I was in McDonald's, they just automatically gave me the Senior Coffee!
I don't look that old.
And besides, when does senior hood start?
Is it fifty, fifty five, sixty two when you can get social security?
I love a good discount, but feel free to card me. And, keep your voice down, young man, when you ask if I want the senior anything.
