When is senior's day, not senior's day?

When the local pub decides, for whatever reason, it is not profitable enough. We had lunch at our 'local' today, to celebrate our 42nd wedding anniversary, which was yesterday. Hubby was at the farm the previous two days, hence the later day out. They used to have Senior's Day, every Wednesday. We were allowed 10% discount off the menu price. This included a dessert as well as the main meal. We were informed today that senior's day was not profitable enough and there was too much wastage. we still received the 10% discount. Dessert was extra. Well, I think someone's logic is off kilter, because, we had fish, and  normally, we would only get a tichy bit of thin fish plus a choice of two desserts. Today, we had fish, and were astounded to behold two LARGE pieces of fish on our plates.
I was unable to eat all mine, and hubby had two and a half pieces. I said to him that he had easily consumed his quota of two meals of fish we are told we should eat in a week.
If the mangagement wish to cut down on wastage, I think they should serve smaller portions. The older person can not consume such large quantities. One piece the size we had, would be more than enough for anyone.
