Seniors' discount

All right, let's talk about it. I get this request from time to time. "Hey, your prices seem high. We're actually seniors. Do you have a seniors discount."

 

Now, my feeling on this is hell no. These boomers, especially in my area (I'm in Vancouver, Canada), own all the real estate. They got all the money. Why in the world would I offer them a discount.

 

Now, something different. Someone told me they were a senior and they had a really tough time getting by, and they needed help. I would actually defer to maybe even doing the job for free, and I've actually done this a few times.

 

But for the majority of people, what is your system here? Convince me otherwise. Do you offer a seniors discount? I guess the follow-up question would be: Is it really even a discount? Are you just charging a little bit more, and is it more of a marketing discount, or is there an actual real discount?
