It was at a fast food restaurant in Indiana. Seeing that the young woman behind the counter hadn't charged me enough, I politely pointed it out (as you should). She smiled and replied cheerfully, "I gave you your senior citizen discount, sir!"
The front of my mind protested, "Exactly how old do you think I am?" The back of my mind thought rationally, "Well, I am saving $1.27."
I actually did nothing more than stammer a thank you. I took my tray and sat down to eat my lunch. As I ate I thought, so that's it. Your pride is worth a dollar and twenty seven cents.
Still, the fries were hot.
