Senior Discounts – Not Just in Casinos

Here is a long list of senior discounts sent to me by Bill Clark.  I was surprised at how extensive this list is – and it is especially useful that it tells you when each business decides you are “old.”  🙂   One caution here:  lists like this change over time as businesses sometimes change their offers.  So I suggest you consider this a general guide, and perhaps it will remind you to always look for a senior discount, even if it isn’t on this list.  A good place for my trusty just-ask magic technique!
