Outrageous Old Ladies

[MadonnaC]

There is no delicate way to ask if a client is eligible for a senior discount. The best I've managed is an "any chance you are a senior?". Since some discounts start at 55 it isn't too bad, and the ladies that were in their 80s were flattered.

Here's a way I learned - "Are you eligible for any discounts" - we did have a student discount too, so that gave an excuse if someone decided to object to being called old

My dad is 55 but still looks like he is in his forties. He gets ID'd all the time when he asks for senior discounts, but he doesn't mind.
