Portrait Innovations Complaint - Discriminatory Attitude by manager to a senior citizen

Complaint
Review by Grany14 on 2010-04-06
WICHITA, KANSAS -- I was looking at an ad for a job as photography assistance position at a studio. I called to ask about it and was connected to the manager of this store. I asked about the position and told her that I had gotten this ad from a place that helps seniors get a job. When I mentioned this the manager told me why would we want anyone like you working with us. She said she hadn't heard of such a thing and the attitude of her speech made me feel like elders and seniors were second class citizens and had no right to any respect or consideration. She went on talking like that for several minutes before she told me the position had been filled before Easter. I wouldn't bring a pet to this establishment, let alone a child or grandchild.

I do not accept this kind of attitude and feel like this particular action borders on senior citizen abuse. IT, should not be allowed period from any company or place of business, or at any time from anyone.

Wow. The manager really said that to you? That's pretty harsh.

Thanks, Jobs are so hard to find now, people should at least be respectable even though the job was filled and just say so instead of talking down to someone.
