15. AARP eligible is 50.
Excuse me, but I am over 50 and I do not consider myself an old person.

2. Don't know, but a restaurant that claimed to be no-old-people, but then
let them in would make a fortune from those appearance conscious types.

3. How old is OLD?
Compared to a 21 year old with more piercings in his face than a FREAKING aids quilt, I'M OLD.

So, HOW OLD?

11. Old people eat early bird specials so it would clear out in time
for young folks.

12. I want to go to a restaurant
that only caters to me! What is so hard about that?! Man, why can't I eat out and be alone? Is that so much to ask?!?!? I mean, it's obvious that the restaurant allows other people, but I'm still going to bitch and moan about it. I should be able to dine out alone without other people bothering me with their breathing, and talking, and body heat. Ugh!

13. Having been a child, young, middle-aged and now old,
I don't ever recall being annoyed by the presence of old people in a restaurant. In fact, now that I think about it, usually if the clientele includes a good many older patrons, it's a sign the the food and service are good.

14. Why?
Do they really bother you? I mean - they mostly keep to themselves & they aren't loud & obnoxious. Sure, they might walk a little slowly at times - but I've never been bothered by their presence. In fact, I rather enjoy them. :)
