    I used to get so angry at my dad for trying to pull that trick. I didn’t expose his lie but man was I not cool with being dishonest to save a few bucks.

      Same. When my dad turned retirement age I would make absolutely sure every waiter and cashier knew he was a senior. I’d loudly ask if his senior discount had been applied. Ah, the sweetest of petty revenges.

      (Karmic backlash: my kid has always been tall and strong for his age. I lost out on years worth of “kids for free” discounts.)
