“No senior citizen discounts. You have had twice as long to get the money” (sign)

“No senior citizen discounts. You have had twice as long to get the money” is a jocular saying that has been printed on many store signs.

“No senior citizen discounts; you’ve had twice as long to earn the money”
Just wondering if anyone else notices/cares how illogical this slogan outside Barber Jon’s is?
“Twice as long….”??? So every senior citizen has worked 2x as long as every non-senior citizen? A 65 year old senior citizen has worked twice as long as a 55 year old??
How about “you’ve had longer to earn the money”??? At least that would make sense.

New snack shop had some interesting signs…No Senior Discounts, you have had twice as long to get the money.  We do not have Wi-fi, talk to each other.
