Not allowing elderly women to work at Hooters is job discrimination?

[QUOTE="MrGeezer"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]

It is discriminatory but legally so. You are allowed to not hire someone because of their age if the job requires a certain age range. Are there many grannies that want to sport the red hotpants? :lol:

I think there's a big difference between airplane attendants and hooters. Hooters is for looking at girls in booty shorts who are probably single moms and need to make a buck but haven't been degraded so far as to stripping yet. You go there expecting T&A. You go on a plane expecting to be taken from point A to point B.XilePrincess

You clearly have different expectations in your flight experience than I do.

The hooters job require you to be more than a waitress. You have to be flirtatious and somewhat attractive to the general customer.

You have to be somewhat hot to justify anyone going to Hooters and paying for their s***ty food.

Then they'd be turned down because they can't do the job, not because they're old.thegerg

I notice that you still haven't answered whether or not it's illegal for a restaurant to turn down an applicant because they're old.MrGeezer

Who knows Someone might have a thing for elderly women...

I'd puke. I guess we can conclude that jobs always discriminate and it's impossible to prove why he or she wasn't hired. I doubt a moving company would hire a 120 pound 5 feet guy, they'll rather hire a tall muscular guy.

So is not hiring men. Saw it on an episode of King of the Hill. . . We should try and then sue. LOL

Would you really want to see some woman in her 60's with saggy t**s? Not I said the fly.

I think hooters would lose alot of customers so it's not an issue of discrimination really.

I get what you're saying but it's not legal when it comes to race. It is when it comes to age as they're physically unable to be what they're looking for. I guess age is seen as less of a discrimination issue since everyone ages. The bottom line is, places are going to hire who/what they want, legal or otherwise, as it's impossible to prove why someone was or wasn't hired.Pirate700

My dad is old and he can't get a job to save his life. Why won't they hire him? Too old. Well, it seems like people will descriminate anyways. He was a brick layer and they wouldn't hire him because he is a high risk for a heart attack. He tried all these other different jobs but they still wont hire him.

Not allowing a guy to work in a store that measures breasts is sexist?

Is it discrimination to not let an old woman become a porn star?

No, I doubt very much in the case of employment law as unless they were some extremely hot GILF then they'd be unlikely to be able to fulfill the expectations as set by Hooters. It's a role where the principal requirement is a particular asthetic, and any such front-end position which is in essence the face of the company would be hard to argue discrimination. Companies need to uphold their brand, and forcing the hand of a firm to employ someone unsuitable would only serve to weaken their brand and thus be detrimental to the business as a whole. Common sense I'm sure would prevail.

Ah no worries at all fella - Being in different time zones conversations can become rather protracted anyway!

if eledrly women were allowed to work at hooters id totally go just for the lulz

I would say why not hire them.. there is mature videos out there so I am sure somebody likes that kind of stuff but.... yeah even if she did get hired, she better not complain when drunk jerks make jokes in front of her.

Being from not round your parts I confess I don't know much about Hooters, although I understand/assume Hooters chicks are one of the main draws. In that regard you could say it's a themed restaurant, and those who unable to comply with said theme irrespective of how efficient they may be at waitering unfortunately wouldn't be eligible for the position. Age yes probably is a factor, although that's probably packaged as asthetics as the 2 are of course linked. The key thing here is protecting a culture both internally and the ethos which the brand projects to the public. In that regard it's unlikely a 60 year would fit the bill at all. A judge with a little common sense would chuck it out before it got anywhere near court.

Not allowing elderly women to work at hooters is a service to humanity

no.
