It had to happen sooner or later…today I got a senior discount without asking, or actually even knowing I’d gotten one till later.
I went to see the movie Looper, which was actually pretty good. I generally go during the day to save a bit of cash, but today I’d decided to see it on the ‘big screen’ at the theatre instead of of the regular screen. That is to say, I decided to see the movie at a more expensive seating where the screen is bigger than my TV.
Well this cost a couple of extra bucks, but hey, it was Sci Fi so I figured…
Anyway, I get my ticket and discover I’ve got a free popcorn coming – not bad. The day is looking up. While I’m in line I take a further look at my ticket and discover, sure enough, I’d gotten the senior discount. As I said, I hadn’t asked so…
And, while I was in line I found out that at Regal Theatres I can get an AARP discount on a soda and popcorn. I’d was already due a free popcorn so no go on the deal, but it seems I really am a senior.
Now I’ve had an AARP membership since my mom bought me on at age 50, but I hadn’t really put together the concept that being an AARP member means I may be approaching seniorhood.
Ah well, nothing I can do about it so I might as well enjoy.
Today was the day.
