Denny's fictional Senior discount

burmanut — Mon, 16 Jun 2025 18:57:48 GMT

Either Denny's has a 15% discount or they don't. Enough with the marketing games. Why should seniors be expected to read the fine print on the Denny's website to finagle a discount widely promoted online and on the AARP site as well? AARP should remove Denny's from the advertised discounts. Recently I had lunch at a Salem, Va Denny's. Bill was $23. Discount was $1.23, hardly a 15% discount. Seniors are a big part of their customer base. It is inexcusable that they are attracting folks based on sneaky promotions and using AARP to do so.

Guess I've been lucky, all I ever do is show my card at register and they give me the discount on whatever we ate. This isn't just locale it was when we traveled.

Was it $23 before or after taxes? The 15% applies only to the food and not the tax, too.

They have always told me that certain specials like senior meals are not included, just whatever is regular price.

No senior discount on senior meals? My head is spinning.

This canned response is not helpful. Like I said: Why should seniors be expected to read the fine print?

Seriously? That is your answer?
