Well there is one thing about getting old, you get senior discounts. I am not 60, yet, but have grey hair (what I have). So different places give me a discount without my asking. And I am not going to tell them different. 
Got a small discount at lunch. Hey, every little bit counts.

Amen, as long as I wake up and am looking at the green side I'm doing good.
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.
I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours!

Oh wait, you said alternative not opposite. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Seeing as how "senior" has no definitive age minimum (it all depends on where you are, who you are talking to, and what you are doing), accepting such a discount is, or should be, uneventful. Now if said places had a sign with "Senior discount to those 60 or older" or some such verbiage and you took them up on it, then that would not be cool.

Yeah, I'm often in a quandary. Do I take the student discount or the senior citizen discount?
Decisions, decisions ....

Funnily, there's a few places I frequent that actually regularly give me freebies just because I treat them like human beings, unlike many of their customers.
Makes me feel warm and fuzzy everytime.

It's pretty insane
Governments seem to have gone from knowing nothing about computers to still knowing nothing about computers, and breaking every computer related law as a result

Laws doesn't apply to governments.

Just learn to accept that every government knows every detail about your life. Its a big pill to swallow but once its done - it's done! I for one welcome our new overlords!
P.S. Read my sig! George was a very smart fellow.
Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. ~ George Washington
