Shops in Sheffield who do discounts for the over fifties?

[peterw 10]

You haven’t told us what you want to buy on discount? How will we know whether you can get one if you don’t tell us what you want to get? Or is “discount” simply another way of saying “cheap”? If you want motor insurance, discounts are available for the over-50s. If you want to buy something from me, discounts aren’t even available for the Over-90s!

whoaaaa...i never said i was fifty did i??i might be sixty or even seventy...and....i might have worked from 15 to 65 paying tax to keep all the workshy and illegal immigrants(and i can tell you i have never claimed the dole once in my lifetime)....not to mention a few others...soooo...i reckon ive done my share

 

None of that entitles you to cheaper goods in shops though.

oh don't be such spoilsports ... I think they should give a discount to me just for surviving to 50!

 

There doesn't even have to be a reason for it ... ok then if you need one, I'm cute - does that count?

I can relate to your views on the work shy but I still fail to see why you should recieve discounts for being over 50.

 

I understand the point about bringing more business into the shop but this is still to the disadvantage of customers under 50. What is a fair way of offering discounts is to offer them for brand loyalty, many businesses offer loyalty schemes that benefits all customers in relation to the amount they spend and does not reward them for having the good fortune to survive beyond a certain age.

what about student discounts ?

As an over 50 I find free condoms pointless, the only item that seems to BOGOF is my hair and Viagra only stops me peein' on my slippers or rollin' out of bed !!!!
