Mistaken For a Senior Citizen!

Ok, I normally keep my cool. I rarely get THAT mad. I wanted to knock her teeth out! Oh yes, it was that bad! I was innocently shopping. Going about my day. I was finished with the browsing so I headed up to pay. This nasty, mid-aged woman looked me in the eye and what she said made my mouth drop and made me want to cry! She asked if I ''get the discount''. Of course I said ''I don't know, how do you get this discount? '' and then she said...''Oh, no.'' ''Forget it, I'm sure you don't.'' I knew what she meant then... this woman was asking me if I was a... SENIOR CITIZEN! ! It takes alot to get me mad and I never ever swear but, let's just say I bit my tongue as I left that day from there! I told her she just ruined what had been a decent day. She gave a smirk and brushed me off with little more to say. Perhaps I don't look twenty... this I will admit. But, she was at least 60 and looked every day of it. How rude to ask a woman when she's only 34 if she's a senior citizen! I won't shop there anymore! !
