Shoppers Drug Mart complaint: Was accused of lying about NOT being a senior citizen

Filed 26 May 2022 by Patricia

I was at this Shoppers Drug Mart location doing some shopping. When I went to pay for the items, the East Indian cashier offered me the seniors discount, and when I said I wasn’t a senior (I’m only 50, born in 1972. 2022 -1972 equals 50) and showed her my wallet card birth certificate to prove it, she still didn’t believe me. And another cashier (one with a headscarf) insinuated that my birth certificate was fake. Who in the world makes a fake ID or fake birth certificate to look YOUNGER? No one does. Fake IDs are made to make an underage person look OLDER, so they can get into places where they are not allowed. I was so upset about being once again mistaken for an elderly person (this has happened other times before, me being mistaken for elderly), that once my stuff was paid for, I stormed out of there and had a good cry on a nearby bench. It’s bad enough I keep getting mistaken for a man in women’s clothes or a transgender, but elderly too? I don’t know what those two women saw that made them think I’m elderly (I have blonde hair, not white or grey, and I don’t have any wrinkles), but this is really affecting my body image, and making me feel bad about my looks, and I’ve felt bad about my looks all my life. And that birth certificate is real, not fake!
