Interesting thoughts here on the 20% discount the government gives to retirees in Panama. It apparently was originally intended for retiring Panamanians but of course is applied univerally to all seniors living in Panama. Unfortunately the burden is carried by the retailers and services not the government.

I wasn't surprised however by the comment about the gringo couple demanding their 20% discount on onion rings. There are a lot of "gringo grinches" in the world! LOL
