[PRCo] Re: [PRCo]End of the line!

[Jerry "MATT" Matsick]

I personally believe we have worn out the discussion of  Church Bulletins and Discounts for Senior Citizens.    I hope we can get back to discussing "PRCo" and the transit industry. 
Many restaurants in our city offer 10% discounts to Seniors who bring their church bulletin
in for Sunday Dinner, should this be stopped, I don't believe so, and if PTM wants to give
a discount to Senior Visitors to the museum let them do so and just be glad they are
visiting.

Do you think it is fair to allow only senior citizens with a church bulletin
to receive the discount? That is subject here, not religious freedom. A
simple ID check, if PTM officials (and they can get "official" at times) do
not believe the age of the person wishing the discount, is all that is
necessary.
One should always look all the way to the end of my posts. I include items
in that area which could be deemed, "interesting",
"outlandish", "informational", "educational", "thought provoking", "anger
producing", and "outrageous", only to name a few. I usually do this at the
end of my posts. The items included there are not necessarily my point of
view, however, are placed there to make people "think". Remember that
process called "thinking"? You do not see much of that these days.
