The woman who is applying for the job is so good at acting. She is so convincing and makes me sad even when i know she is acting.

In real life, they'd just take her application, hold it for a bit, and never get back with her/tell her no. It's unfortunate, but hiring discrimination in general often looks like that.

They are not allowed to ask your age, but on the job application, it asks what year did you graduate from High School. Same difference.

"He may not be able to hear me, cause he's so old" 😂😂😂 screaming!!! I wanna be friends with her

This also makes me think of when young people get denied jobs because they need experience. How do you think they get experience?

That actress is brave. When she said mind your business, I was like oh shittttt... 😂

"you guys should just mind your business" old black woman: *so you have chosen death*

Kind of sad that no one really stood up for the older gentlemen the way they stood up for the lady.

I noticed women are more inclined to come to the defense of others.

It's kinda ironic that when you're young, they say you lack the experience and credibility; but i guess when you're older and have the experience and credibility, they say you now would be a liability. Honestly, I feel like companies themselves don't even know what they want.

Ageism goes both ways. I experienced it a lot when I was younger, applying for apartments and jobs and being discriminated against for being young and people thinking I was not going to take it seriously when I had nowhere to go and I qualified for the apartments and positions.

I felt bad for the older guy when nearly everyone was walking away and not defending him:(

The best quote is, "we're rolling, one last time". Me: yes, my favorite part

When she said, “Mind your own business” I thought that woman was gonna leap across the counter.

Age is just a number. My father is almost 70 and he's still working for the government as a marine safety inspector. He's in very good shape for his age.

10:58 That woman’s...Apology...” I m Sorry” was so adorable and I loved her sarcasm and her authenticity She was the Best♥️♥️

If this scenario were real, I don’t think it would be worth working at a place with such disrespectful coworkers.

John Quinones: " Why is it important to speak up?" Person who spoke up: " Um because it's wrong duh" lol

I was at bar and a similar thing happened. The job seeker was told they were too fat. I figured it was a WWYD episode, so since I was going to be on TV, I started yelling and turning over tables and chairs and breaking glasses. When the cops showed up, I realized it was real life.

When she said “what do you know about being treated badly?” I went 🤭

That One Black Women Was Not Playing She Told Her Straight

“Look at me and look at you” is an essential in every wwyd scene

"What do you know about being treated badly" - she knew exactly what she was doing lmao

Some of the best work relationships are between the older staff members and the youngest ones. This type of diversity is needed in the workplace, it's a balance. Young members teach the older members about new technologies, Older members teach younger members about life experiences and they give great advice.

Bartender: "I don't think she's a good fit to be the new bartender." Owner:"You're right. She's a perfect fit to be the new bar manager!" Bartender: (surprised pikachu face)

"You're old. You would be too slow during work." "Then why don't you let Diana/Mike work there for a day or two as a test? If they don't display the right skills, don't hire them. At least that way you gave them a chance." "I would prefer to hire someone younger." "I don't see a line of people asking to fill out the application."

I screamed when she said “maybe we could speak up”.😂😂😂

One of my first jobs at 18 years old was at a country bar with a small kitchen. I was the cashier who worked the kitchen, we closed at 10 pm. The bartenders were mostly older, and the oldest was this really sweet lady she was about 50ish and she was the best bartender. Obviously I didn’t have any of her drinks, but we had regulars who would go specifically for her.

"I'm a black man in America. I know a lot about being treated badly"

I love the women who screamed "I'm sorry" after knowing she was on the show

The actress playing the "older" applicant IS SO GOOD

😂😂😂😂 I died when she said “he might not even hear me cuz he’s so OLD “😂😂 oh I LOVED her 😂❤❤

They’ve clearly never worked in a real restaurant. The stuck up little girls sit around taking and texting all day, while the actual veteran waitresses murder the game and even offer to help in other areas.

"Applicant denied bartending job due to age" Me: Highly illegal and can be sued for discrimination

Happened to me and then I joined on a lawsuit against the large chain restaurant that did it to me and numerous other people over the age of 40. We won!

12:25 "What do you know about being treated badly?" It was at that moment she knew... *She fucked up*

My dad has been denied job after job due to his age. They tell him to retire even if that’s not an option for everybody. So yeah, this is a little real to me

Why did I think a 16 year old was gonna apply as a bartender but couldn’t cuz he was too young or sum🤣 I’m trippin *Edited* Thanks for all the likes

The black customers were dope af!!! ❤ they stand up for others in the face of adversity🙏

I gotta tell you, I really appreciate how this show switches things up with race and gender to show different reactions! Kudos!

Both the actors did a really good job, very convincing! Ageism is sadly a really common yet unspoken of issue. I'm glad they covered it.

The last guy has to make you step back and think -- he was calm, reasonable, logical... and black. Asking him "what would you know about it" to a man with that demeanor -- and to hear him say he's well aware as a black man in America -- you have to stop and think about the way we are treating each other purely based on superficial characteristics such as race, age, sexual orientation, etc.

We need this show in the UK, coz I feel like barely anybody would stick up for anyone 😕

I would love to be served by that woman she seems like she got stories to tell and good advice to give

Women: "what do you know about being treated badly?" Man: "what do I know about being treated badly? Im a black man in America. I know a lot about being treated badly" This was so Underrated so I had to write it 😞

Reminds me of the “Denied job because of gender” episode.

LOL! This happened to me and I was only joking about wanting the job while out with friends. So, 6 months later I bought the place, closed it, and reopened it 3 months later, as a restaurant, with a well experienced staff. 😁👍🏻

The beautiful woman in the lavender blouse - I just adore her. Her voice was so soothing to me. And the gorgeous woman who stood up for the older guy was great as well. She had me cracking up! 🤣 Her facial expressions were on point. You could tell she was frustrated with the actor. Lol.

Legend has it that when you do wrong, the quinones fairy comes for your soul.

Alright,time to grab some popcorn and snacks in 10 minutes

This is always my struggle, I'm 50 years old and I don't look my age at all. Every time I apply for a job for a better income, I get invited for an interview. Everything goes well during an interview until the employer asks me about my age, and I get declined immediately! 😭😭

The lady in the glasses and vest was great!

I swear wwyd has some good actors and actresses these days.

I once found 20$ at Walmart on the floor but I was scared to pick it up cause I thought John quinones would pop up

“And don’t ever tell me to mind my f****** business” ooof!

Him saying “We are rolling one last time” will never get old ｡ ^‿^ ｡

my asian aunt from New Hampshire is in her 50s and she's a really good bartender. Told me she gets hundreds of dollars worth of tips each day.

The actress portraying the bartender looks so familiar.

Organizations have more sophisticated ways to know how old you are. I think that in this scenario, you might want to show up in person to fill an application. But, generally speaking, these days people do it online and most companies use AI to scan the applications to figure out how old you are without directly asking you. For instance, "What level of schooling you have," "When did you graduate from college", etc.. So, people are denied the job by a computer before anyone sees your resume or application. I was at my local McDonald's one time when a young disabled kid stopped by to get a job application and was told by an assistant manager that they did not have any openings and therefore she could not give him a job application. I immediately jumped in and said to her, "You know that what you are doing is illegal in California, don't you? You MUST give him an application and allow him to fill it out if you don't want to be sued, according to the ADA you cannot discriminate against people with disabilities." She went to the office and gave the kid the job application. He didn't get the job I suppose bc I've never seen him again there, but you cannot be a bystander. You have to let people know that what they're doing is wrong. You also have to let people know when they are going a great job.

I love all the people who stick up for the applicants. It’s wonderful to see people doing good. Thank you for this channel, I just subscribed! ❤️

OMG I was not ready for Sutton! My musical theatre heart can’t take it 😁

You’ve got the love black women 😭😭😭 put her in check real quick

Ageism is also big towards younger adults too, mostly towards men, I was constantly rejected because I was young

On a real note, I worked in a kitchen for my first job then was a server when I was 19 and I can safely say most of the older staff did a much better job with 9/10 aspects of the job. Now I know I can’t speak for everyone or the other restaurants out there but all I’ll say was during the interview all they valued was experience and references, and I honestly feel like their applications were taken much more seriously than someone in their twenties or thirties would, since they actually understand work ethic and how to get a job done. P.S. 95% of any workplace drama involved the middle aged/younger workers. Out of my favorite 5 coworkers, 2 of them were senior citizens.

Sutton Foster seems very genuine, humble, and down to earth!

9:48 "Ooo that's a good idea." Lmao Sutton you perfect beautiful angel.

I love that the actress was in this episode. Ageism is real and Younger is a great show.

I knew they were gonna bring up Sutton Fosters Younger. That show is literally so good and so funny I wanna scream.

I hope this is the actual episode not just a premiere for it 😭

"I think you're very tone deaf!" Damn right, he knows what's up! XD

Love the wise words of the last guy 💗

Omg, such great patrons! I don't know many Jewish people by my ex was Jewish so I know what the JCC is, so when I heard that woman offer to put in a word there without knowing if she was Jewish, I was so touched. I'm such a sap for this level of kindness!

Black people are defending for victims 90% time on wwyd. It's just beautiful 😍

As a person with advanced degrees and also multiple barriers to employment, I can say I would prefer hiring managers and interview panel members to be direct. The norm is: at the start of the interview when the interviewer(s) first see the candidate, they think to themselves “we can’t hire this person. He/she is ” They carry out the interview, tell you that you are very good, and then never respond to your attempts to contact. The takeaway message from this segment of WWYD is: it’s not ok to discriminate out loud. And indeed 99.9% of people don’t discriminate out loud. What they do discretely, that’s another story. If this scenario were in real life, the manager would take the applicant’s papers and then throw it out in the back. Nobody would notice anything out of the ordinary. It’s life.

the sad part is that these kinds of things are still going to happen bc usually people aren’t so open about it, they just make the decision behind closed doors.

I have seen this at a winery! She was a little bit older that the lady applying here and the manager made her wait and talked about her at the computer stand by our table. It was sad and this sweet lady ended up eating there and we ended up paying for her bill out of kindness. She really needed a job and it was apparent when her and the manager talked

WWYD is my absolute favorite show. I love how John shines light on situations that happen in real life. He stands for equality and is an absolute angel 😁

At my last job, they made up all kinds of excuses to get rid of the older workers. Class action ensued, company lost big time & young bosses lost THEIR jobs.

I work as a waitress and barmaid in a large chain restaurant in England. I am 22. Most of the people who i work with front of house are all under 30. But our 2 most efficient and popular waiting staff are older. Their dedication to the job and their ability to cope even when it is really busy and their efficiency and work ethic are second to none. The put us young ones to shame. Experience has value.

10:33 when you get that face, you know you messed up

Even if it's illegal to discriminate a job candidate based on age, it happens all the time whether consciously or subconsciously. I mean, if you're applying to become a promo model at a trade show to represent a company, they have every right to discriminate applicants based on age and other superficial factors because looks are a big aspect of the role.

Am I the only one who clicked on this thinking it would be about someone underage?

I cracked up when she said “well, I mean we can just speak up”.😂😂😂 loved it.

Watched 'younger' on Hulu cause of this. Finished season one. Omg loved it!

Notice how only a few people defended the man. And most people helped the lady why?

When John says, "We're rolling one last time," you already know somethings about to go down...

Last man said has been there and yet he put a smile on his face ! Wow much respect to this guy .

What surprises me is that not one customer would refuse to patronize such a business with _horrible_ hiring techniques. They would continue to eat there.

the power behind the “or its too black” and the DIRECT look into the camera

Joy Behar is 77 so she has no room to talk.😂

I love that first woman sm she was so sweet 😭

My favorite bartender is an old man. His.stories are priceless. Mickey has seen it all and gives me invaluable advice. Hes the dad i never had

Has anybody else noticed soon as John comes out everybody says “I knew it” like if they no there on the show why get so angry hahaha 😂

This probably happens all the time. It's sad everyone deserves the same opportunities. These days everyone needs a job age shouldn't matter. In my opinion as long as they strong enough to do the job and they have the skills they should be hired.

Sutton is a whole queen "how's your balance" girl she knew exactly what to have her say and her genuine joy at the responses of customers who stood up for Diana is awesome. PS If Sutton Foster ever told me she was proud of me I would cry for a month.

Great job!

When live chat gets quiet because everyone is so focused on the episode you be like- 😂😂😂😂😂😂 👁👄👁

SUTTON FOSTER?!?! I love her!!!!!!! My little theatre heart is so happy!!!!!!

My favorite bar tender was older than this woman, she could make drinks faster than anyone else on staff and she would have real conversations with us customers. She knew all the regulars by name, it was like living an episode of cheers. You'd walk in and she would light up start talking about her grandkids and asking about what was new in your life. She knew our beer and cocktail preference and would recommend new menu items based on what we liked and didn't like.

This one is great and so true! Should not be judged on anything other than qualification!
