I have mixed feelings about this. It started about 6 or 7 years ago, and occurs randomly. Seems to be a connection between the age of the McDonald's cashier, and the determination of who is old. The younger the employee, the more likely I become a senior. Good grief! Now, however, I've had to back away from coffee, as my stomach seems to have thrown in the towel on that. Tea was already out of bounds, so now I guess my senior discount days are behind me (that sounds strange). Doubt they give breaks on Diet Coke.
