   I tend to pay $25 including a 20-25% tip. (it's about $18 for beard & head,    
   including tax); when they(whoever, wherever) raise their prices, if I'm a    
   regular, I can often get one last go or two at the old price.   
      
   The pizza place we use for the good pizza, gave us an old price for over a    
   year, until new owners, who set new prices (definitely higher -- but still   
   high quality dough & toppings)   
      
   I olke the others -- we'd get our pizzaa first, even on nights with a final    
   game on in any sport (world series, superbowl, Grey Cup, et al); never even    
   slightly cooled down from the oven -- just the way I like it!   
      
   I always tip pizza with cash, even if using the debit portable to pay.

   All depends on how many seniors they have living nearby, & how much they're    
   losing with the discount, vs how much they spend the other days at full price.   
      
   & if they do, start an outcry -- this often works with corporations!   
      
   You get asenior's discount reghsarlessm, but at leasrt they won't ask you for    
   ID, eh?   
      
   I laughed -- was picking up pads for my wife & the cashier gave 47yo me a    
   semior's discount, but it may have been a "wink-wink" kind of thing, rather    
   than an assumption -- I don't care -- 15% is 15%!   
      
   Better in my pocket than the billionaire owners'!
