Senior???

On Tuesday this week I went to a local garden centre to purchase some Privet to repair our hedge.   It was a rainy miserable cold day, up to my eyeballs in soaking wet wood chips that had been laid down to sop up the water, but I did get two plants which we thought would be enough. Took them to the cash out counter and paid for them.  

That evening we decided two more were needed, so back to the garden center yesterday.     A better day weather wise, but still soggy underfoot, I picked up two more plants and again took them to the counter to pay for them.

The young girl rang in my purchase and told me the price.   "How come these cost me more than the ones I bought yesterday" I said, "They are the same variety of plant"  She proceeded to tell me, "Yesterday was seniors day, you got a discount".   "I am still a senior today, can I get the  discount?"  I said.   Well, all the staff started laughing, thought my response was priceless.   The cashier then said "You still get the one year guarantee".    "That's fine," I said, "But I may not be here in a year".  More laughter. 

One of the staff, said that I made her day.

Laughter is the best medicine, so they say.

Have a great day.
