    I knew there would be some bonus in looking older than I actually am, and smaller portions would be better for me. Usually the starters are enough - not that that stops me trying everyone else's in our party.

    If you are buying tickets for seniors ( at Seaworld or Cypress gardens for example) they ask for ID but if you just order from the seniors menu in a diner eg Perkins they don't ask because the portions are smaller anyway.
    In my experience its 55 in most places that sell tickets and want ID

    IHOP do a seniors menu - I think they're 55+ too. [msntongue]
    Golden Corral do too , but it only reduces the price by a couple of dollars as with most buffets, you pay by the person.

    You can certainly get a discount from Blockbuster video if you are 50+

    We have a lot of American friends and all say that a restaurant is not allowed to ask your age as it is ageist but generally 55 is the norm

    It varies from 50 upwards but 55 is the most usual, but they never ask for proof of age. Try the 'Seniors' breakfast menu at Perkins, it is terrific and much more than enough.

    If it is ageist to ask a persons age is is not also ageist to give a discount to people over a certain age or even under a certain age, would it not be better to have a smaller portion menu for everyone[msnscared]
