    Apparently, the Kroger grocery chain in some areas has ENDED the senior discount...but it was still on at the store I visited in midtown Little
    Rock yesterday. I guarantee you if they end that discount, they will lose
    a ton of customers.

    WV has a "Golden Mountaineer" program for those 55 and up. One got a
    card (they applied for) where at participating businesses one usually got about 10 per cent off purchases.
    I used to see signs on doors all over the place for discounts on dining,
    etc.
    After I got my cards all those signs seemed to disappear. Haven't seen
    one in years.

    AARP was sure tenacious to get me to sign up when I turned 50. :P
