This is not the Another Damn Senior Day you're looking for

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Yesterday was the first Wednesday of the month, and we all know what that means: Another Damn Senior Day. But I didn't work yesterday.

Instead today I got set upon by a gaggle of wrinkly old farts demanding to know if today was Senior Day (no), could they get their 15% discount anyway (no), did I know how far they had to drive to get here today (nein), did I know they couldn't make it in to the store to shop yesterday (nyet), did I care they were on a fixed income (non), and do I care that this is "really shady" and they'll never shop by us again (fuck no).

Of course, they have to waste my time like this on day where we're shorthanded and have a huge truck to fill.

Seriously, do people stop reading when they turn 65 or something?

[Mad_Sheep]

They cant stop what they haven't done before . I believe that those people are the same that don't read that a coupon runs only for a half year and not 10 years. Or that the parking loot is for disabled people only.

[Brojekk]

The second "no"...was that in spanish or french???

[MelodiousBubbles]

The second 'no' was in German

[Teskeria]

English, English, German, Russian, French, American?

[Megg]

The last one is definitely American, this I know for sure!

[iradney]

Awww you didn't use Afrikaan (nee)
*is sad now*

I vote Italian

[telecom_goddess]

lol...what is it with this "fixed income" crap they always pull....*I* am on a fixed income. I may work but I am not doing overtime and I haven't had a raise in several years. My income is just as fixed as theirs is.

[Setsunaela]

I was guessing English Spanish German Russian French American..

[chainedbarista]

exactly, goddess; everyone except maybe people who work on commission have a fixed income. i really hate that argument; it's not our problem that you're too cheap, so deal.

[Jetfire]

Or that the parking loot is for disabled people only.

You get loot for parking? Is it good loot or vendor trash? How hard is it to beat the Parking mob?

[Mikkel]

Awww you didn't use Afrikaan (nee)
*is sad now*

Nor Danish (nej).

[Peppergirl]

and do I care that this is "really shady"

All the other arguments are the same tired ones used by SC's everywhere...but this one got me. How the hell is it 'shady' that senior day is wednesday and that they were a day late?

Well, because Senior Day should be whatever day they want it to be!

And let's not forget the Polish "no" - nie.
