what's a senior customer?

heat added

Mine closed down.

Are you classing seniors as over 65 or 60? It varies in different places . Thanks, Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth0103, Just had a look on Morrisons facebook page and it looks to be avaliable to people 60+. Hope this helps :smile:

Why not take a hot drink and a pie to the cold and hungry living on the streets?

That's much better than the original comment. Morrisons (and M&S) are delivering over 5 tonnes of unwanted food to homeless people in London this December, I'm not sure if other cities are also a part of the initiative, but at least it's a start.

Might be worth Googling to see what other schemes they have provided for the homeless, too :smile:

I have just donated best part of a weeks shopping to the local food Bank.some people are suffering in this country through no fault of their own,disgraceful in a rich country like the UK!

and some are suffering through being bone idle and preferring the easy life to hard work, they refused the education opportunities offered to them (and probably were unlucky enough to have had rubbish parents)

£12.3 billion to developing countries ?
By the way it used to be 'overseas aid' .
What about 250,000 homeless in the UK ?

Well , might go down the hill if I can persuade my wife to join me .

hey. dumb reply.

try studying when you have a home where your dad beats up the family and behaves maniac-like most of the day.

And you know despite that, I've rarely claimed benefits. But as it happens, after getting some great Oxbridge style grades by teaching myself and a place at a top med school without enjoying the usual benefits and support, I in the end could eventually no longer afford to pay to go anymore because I don't have a parent like yours.

And you know what< I was so shellshocked from no longer being able to afford my place that I now AM on benefits for a while, because I been destroyed by lack of support you don't have to suffer.

'some' doesn't mean 'all' - why do you think I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth? - I wasn't

I created my money with hard study & hard work (plus I guess my parents were not really below average so I was lucky there as well)

To be honest I think he just means there are people at both ends of the spectrum - some have been dealt a really bad hand while others have wasted opportunities offered to them.

Saw the sign yesterday but thought it may be store specific, told my grandma about it and she'll be there on Tuesday

Thanks OP - parents notified.

Not​ forgetting the 600,000 empty houses.

Seniors only ?

So people under a certain age can't get this offer ?

Is that not illegal - discrimination on the grounds of age

I hope Deeky knows about this!

Enjoy your beverage & mince pie Buzz :smile:

I'm 57 and going into tomorrow

Will report back

A lot of seniors struggle ,especially as I included have to work another 6 years for my pension.Good on Morrisons.

And many of the people you dismiss as being idle and feckless are suffering from mental illness and instead of the help that should be there they find themselves on the streets. Homelessness in the UK has increased by 30% in the last 12 months alone. What a caring country this currently is!

Thx op

nope I'm not dismissing them

perhaps they caused their own result, though

the kid who was a pain in the ass @ school and never got a skill or a qualification?

I do realise that these people are where they are & deserve a carrot or a potato or some other help, though

Thanks OP Useful info. Have let the outlaws know

Well said

And the prize for the dumbest comment goes to you.

"It's for my Mum"

I wanted to visit Santa's Grotto but got discriminated because of my age.:(

I don't think that Morrisons are stopping non-seniors buying things from them (that would be discrimination), they are just not giving non-seniors mincies and tea! They can choose the objects of their affections, but not discriminate against protected groups (age, religion, sex etc.) by restricting those they do business with.

Last time I looked there were big holes in the arguments of those criticising 'scroungers' (search for 'guardian benefits scroungers'). Generally it's the case that people receiving benefits are those the benefits are aimed at, there aren't too many 'idle and feckless'.

But i'm not your grandma oO

Good on you. Much better doing that than giving to beggars who in my experience are neither hungry nor homeless. Know for a fact that several here are collected by a people carrier from their homes each day and dropped in town then get cabs home when they've fleeced enough people.

And you've got a cheek to complain about people mumping benefits. oO

I guess that must mean everyone then.

My local Morrisons doesn't have a café. I can well imagine a huddled half dozen OAP's propped on zimmers, juggling a steaming hot beverage in one hand whilst trying to gobble down a mince pie in the other. Ambulance Chasers will be on hand, I bet.

Lovely gesture from morrisons, will let the in laws know

Sounds like time-travel. Do let us know when you come back into yesterday.

Used to love this website checking for bargains etc now there is always someone moaning about anything and everything

I'm 26 years old. why can't I have a pie and drink?

mildly discriminatory

Cold. I'm not old. Agest!

Well if they are over 60 they can go in a get one. Always somebody having a moan.

Is it mince pie with meat or is it mince pie without meat?

Look at the picture. Won't be meat

Durrrr

What about people who are retired from work - and living on their occupational pension?
They are retired - possibly not their own choice, but deliberately made redundant to make way for younger cheaper workers!
Probably not able to claim benefits because of their occupational pension- (and by the way, a state pension is technically a benefit)
Living on very limited income.
Why should they not enjoy this offer ?

A family I know has 2 sisters.
One retired and received full state pension at age 62.
Sister who is 2 years younger has to wait until she is nearly 67.

Unless Morrisons ask for proof of age, I do not see how they can 'restrict' this.
I know I look over 65. and I am no where near 60....
Call it a stressful life

This is a post about someone giving something away. How come it gets hijacked for a political/social argument? Whilst I agree with some of the commentators, this is not the place for it.

[img]img.escapade.co.uk/SAL…jpg?2[/img] The lengths i'll go to

Stop getting your knickers in a twist ! It's a freebie and that's what the site is about.

Strangely enough you hardly ever hear about age discrimination against older people - mainly because they are so used to being thrown onto the scrapheap and treated as invisible. Maybe this offer was made because a lot of
" seniors" are alone and don't have anyone else, so by doing this it might just get a few
of them out for half an hour somewhere warm with other people. Remember that a lot of older people are just cash cows for their family, only visited when they want to borrow money or if their " loved ones" think they're gonna kick it and they might inherit something. You would shiver at some of the sick stories about the way old people are treated. Please don't complain that they're being offered the chance of a bit of company, even if it is in a Morrisons café.

Age-ist. I want my free drink & Mice pie. Hope they are still doing this in 20 or so years.

Make a note of it, you can then come back and moan in 20 years :grin:

Statistics say your generation is the most well off

got a job yet?

Not looking yet

​This is age discrimination. It should be open for everyone especially children. They know the oldies have got the money in the bank or in property so only want them to come.

You mean 'Mince'? Think you can only get a Mice Pie in a Harvester

Statistics are all in the presentation - you can fudge them to make any point you want.

Nice for some

As I'm not eligible do you think you could pick one up for me when you collect yours Buzz? :stuck_out_tongue:

You can't be that worried then.

I'll get back to you after I've had my cbt and a few more counselling sessions, I dont think you truly understand the concept of being stressed out

I do understand it but moaning on here instead of taking action...is a waste of time. CBT is a waste of time too....Doesn't add up here.

I hope it bloody isn't I've been waiting 5 months for it!

see that's my point, when you are in the **** (IF you are in the ****), you don't just 'wait' for things to happen, you take action...

Depends what kind of ****, what you gonna do about gad and ocd. Besides this is partly why mental health treatment blows, I know of a few cases where the desperate went to the nhs but were left waiting for so long they lost every single one of their marbles before they could get any treatment and are now beyond help, or tried to commit suicide, or in one case actually managed it. Some things just cant wait mental health should be as high a priority as cancer.
