Best Posts in Thread: Give senior citizen discounts or go to jail

Seems like that judge doesn't know the law. Doesn't surprise me thought. A senior citizen is always entitled to senior citizen discount. BUT, if there is already another promo in play, he can not demand them both. If he insists on the citizen discount, you don't need to offer him/her the other promo anymore. Technically you could raise all your prises 25%, give a general 20% promo discount to everyone. Then the senior can chose if he wan't the general 20% or the senior 20%.
Also, it is only the senior that can avail the discount, so it can't be abused by letting granny pay for all. That happened to us once, that they tried. They have ordered lots of food and wanted senior citizen discount. I walked over and said; "You are supposed to inform about the senior citizen discount prior to order so we can give you separate bills, but, as we are nice we give you the discount on one of the pizzas and one beer. Ok?"
Sec. 4, second last part. "In the purchase of goods and services which are on promotional discount, the senior citizen can avail of the promotional discount or the discount provided herein, whichever is higher. "
