Building on everyone above... have I missed something, or should there be or have been shops to test older age compliance or at least courtesy toward potentially older persons? I realize that many stores, food & beverage establishments, and other businesses have closed or changed recently. But even before covid, were any people taking advantage of birthday giveaways, reduced admittance fees, and other perks for people who have made it this long on the planet and deserve a little kudos now and then? I will be Exhibit A. I am just the right age to encounter this at various places. Some places already honor me for being this old and others will defer the gratification for a few more years. Some places believe me when I tell them how old i am and others want to see my driver's license. How many people are getting away with perks that are meant for someone younger or older than themselves?
