The entrance sign said
“Admission - $20
Seniors - $10”
But nowhere was there a definition of “Senior”.
Since getting my Senior Citizen Beach Permit from the Town of Oyster Bay (undated but good for “Lifetime”), I have become aware of senior discounts. Although you start getting offers to join AARP at 50, I've seen senior discounts offered at 60, 62 and 65. I have yet to identify the determining factor for the differences in the crucial age cut-off. Moreover, I've noticed that rarely are you “proofed” for a senior discount.
We waited on line and approached the counter. It appeared that the woman was a "senior" in her own right.
“So, what's a senior?” we asked. “If you have to ask, you're a senior!” was the gracious response.
I think it's as good a benchmark as you can get.
