So for the longest time, my appetite was small enough that I wanted to order off the kids' menu. But that is frowned upon. I COULD NOT get a two-piece chicken dinner at a restaurant in Des Moines; I had to get a four-piece. By the time they came up with a two-piece meal, I was pregnant and needed a four-piece.
These days, there's a meal at Perkins I love. It consists of a lemon pepper chicken breast, rice, a dinner roll, and a potato served how the person chooses. But guess what: this meal is only on the 55+ menu. And they actually CALL me on this. There is no lemon pepper chicken on the menu for people under the age of 55. So I have four options: I can order something I don't like as well, I can go somewhere else, I can go with my mom and have her order my meal so we can trade, or I can order a chicken breast separately with lemon pepper and sides of rice, potato, and roll.
Am I the only one who thinks that's stupid?

I agree!  If they want to do a seniors discount, they should just take 15 percent off their entire order, no matter what they order. No need for a separate menu. I wonder if they do that because a large portion of their customers ARE seniors and perhaps it's all set up to make it look like a real discount when in fact it may not be.

I dunno, but you'd think they'd want their customers to be happy. Same with the place that wouldn't let me order two pieces of chicken. If I only get TWO pieces of fried chicken, I should be both healthier and happier and therefore more likely to come back.
By the way, we found a great carrot cake recipe with olive oil in it, if you're interested.
