Seems par for the course to me, though perhaps they borrowed too much from a "senior's" discount plan for their grandparent discount promotion. It's not as though they could enforce the discount in any reasonable way, a fifty year barrier is easy to check and a fair compromise to avoid a large amount of abuse with the coupons.

They didn't call it a "senior" sale. They would have to honor anyone who claims to be a grandparent.
Related, but not. Although the term "senior" is defined differently depending where you are. AARP and movie theaters (here, anyway) utilize 50. But the County I used to live in defined it as 65 or over and the neighboring county said "seniors" were 62 and over. As long as it's known policy and the company/franchise sticks by it, they have the right to draw the line.

Well, that is the trouble with having a Grandparent sale, working out the logistics of it so that it would not be abused. I think giving the discount to anyone who brought the coupon in would have been more logical and less apt to insult anyone. I imagine most people wouldn't take advantage anyway.
