Rent Elderly People
A service that allows one to rent elderly people in order to "access senior-only discounts, early access to events, or priority service."
The site is a joke, but it's not a bad idea. Many supermarkets offer senior days once a month where seniors get a 10 or 15% discount on top of all other savings. So it would be worthwhile to have a senior do your shopping for you.
I know it's a joke because the web design company AE Studio takes credit for it on their "skunkworks" page.

You could also rent a veteran. We veterans get discounts at many places of varying amounts, such as 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and sometimes more. Even better is a senior veteran, as there are places that allow both discounts at the same time. Some veteran friends and I eat at a pizza buffet restaurant once a month, and we get both discounts at that particular place.

That service would work only if you had to go shopping with the senior. Most seniors are not exactly bodybuilders, and they will need help carrying your purchases. Plus, they get to chat with you!

Renting a disabled person to go to the front of lines in Disney parks is a real thing.
Unless they have cracked down and ended it.

My hair started graying when I was in my thirties. I think I wasn’t 40 yet when some teenage cashier offered me the senior discount. I was indignant.
