LOL I can't wait till I get my 55plus discount on food!

My folks do when we go out to eat but I'm stuck with minimial food and huge prices.

Who even knew there was still a Ben Franklin up around your neck of the woods! Most closed down years ago!

Hmm? What? How? Where?

What are we talking about? At first I thought it was the new bill coming out but Ben's still on it; it's just updated for counterfeit purposes. Is it a restaurant? Store? Inquiring minds need to know!

I think she means store! Like an old-fashion dime store

candy_coated_bitch · 05-23-2018, 08:08 PM

I never heard of Ben Franklin either. The store, obviously I've heard of the person.

introverted1 · 05-24-2018, 10:45 AM

Yes, it's a dime store and it's wonderful... the owner of the building is raising the rent to the point where they are driving small businesses out.

Are you old enough to be on this thread? Does your mom know you're here? lol. Ben Franklin...a dime store that managed to outlive Woolworth's for some odd reason.

Lyte · 06-11-2018, 05:31 PM

That was thought exactly... what's a Ben Franklin? Now I know!

There are all sorts of other discounts too, but most of the times I forget to ask for them!

Show me a place that offers half-price seniors' discounts on a busy Friday or Saturday night and I'll show you a place that truly honours "seniors". I'm tired of being grateful for "leftovers" at a seniors' discount on Mondays from 4 pm to 5 pm.

Howdy Lofters,

I see that we are chatting about discounts. I discovered that in the U.S. Dennys and Ihop offer a 55+ menu. Smaller portions and a discount.

I love it!

Happy Labor Day my friends.

I hadn't heard of the Ben Franklin stores either. It's likely regional.
