How might you respond to this #WWYD scenario? Actor Sutton Foster joins John Quiñones behind-the-scenes to help guide this scenario about age discrimination.

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.
You're emotionally weak please man up ASAP
@@elvd1296 What is your problem?
Yeah
Elvd plot twist: you’re a paid actor or an imbecile. Your choice😁😁
@@elvd1296 You seem like a person that thinks having emotions is gay. Ur not an alpha male, buddy. Ur an alpha idiot.
This also makes me think of when young people get denied jobs because they need experience.
How do you think they get experience?
I’ve seen ads asking for 18 year olds, who have 5 years of experience.
Just ridiculous.
It's a catch 22 😒
@James Doyle Is not really that easy. In America, many ppl think it's only a job if you get paid, so if you don't get paid it isn't experienced. I applied at Target, for the clothing position. I was denied bc I didn't had enough experience despite the fact I was a volunteer worker for 2 years, at my local food pantry working in the clothing sections, which I interact a lot with customers. Target wasn't the only place that completely ignore my volunteer experience.
Age discrimination is wrong! All should have jobs no matter what age you are.
Snowdog's Shorts omg yes same. I’ve even seen adds for 10 years experience. It’s not even possible. Like in no universe. And when you want a job but haven’t had a job like that they don’t want you because no experience. You start somewhere
"you guys should just mind your business"
old black woman: *so you have chosen death*
You could've worded this better
@@spiceupyourlife7755 watch out, you should mind your business too before she gets ya
I get so confused when the actors decide to attack
@@SheeshMaster64
Older than 50 is old, but again,it isnt
@@spiceupyourlife7755 No. The wording was perfect.
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.
Ikr?
Yup, what year did you graduate from college?
Donna Hing is a beautiful woman.
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.
Story of my adult life right there :/ At least there's welfare.
Exactly
@@johnsampson6387 I used to consider people on welfare freeloaders but that is not true for everyone. I really opened my eyes about this.
You'd catch a lawsuit if you did what blondie did though.... and the plantiff would have a sure fire win, even if Rainman or even Forrest Gump were representing them.
i mean it depends on the job your applying for.....if its a popular bar/club in a college town that mostly college students and teens go to.....I would have no problem with them denying an older bartender (male or female) they are trying to make the place more appealing for their customers......No different then typecasting in movies.......
I noticed women are more inclined to come to the defense of others.
Probably because women are more emotional than men
As a man who has hired people of all kinds for my business, I honestly don't know if I could stop myself from getting loud and/or possibly violent lol.
Men don't like confrontation
@@alexa-fx2fb I agree that women are more emotional. I experienced it first hand when close family died.
Abdulrahim Hassan I hadn’t thought about that. Thanks
"He may not be able to hear me, cause he's so old"
😂😂😂 screaming!!! I wanna be friends with her
I loved that too , made me smile from ear to ear. Lol
@@charliehaslam1434That woman was a rock star!
in a bar this happens and i was for real discriminated a long time ago
@@rogerrosen2323 Yeah, people can suck. But then shows like this let us see the good people out there.
Kind of sad that no one really stood up for the older gentlemen the way they stood up for the lady.
Not many care for sexism, it seems.. hypocrisy at among its best 👌
The guy did though right? The guy said he was waiting outside until the older gentleman came out to sort this out privately. I think they all did know it was wrong as they stopped eating or drinking and stood up and left their seat. I wish the guys stood up for him also. I was disappointed too (and I am a woman of color).
Agree! Shows you just how men get treated compared to females in the United States. We should all be viewed as humans with feeling, emotions, and the list goes on...
It's interesting. I was thinking folks felt they were defending the woman, but to do the same for the man would be emasculating.
That actress is brave. When she said mind your business, I was like oh shittttt... 😂
They had to come in quickly because that was gonna end badly
John was like: oh shit⛷️
It's about to go down
They needed to end that quick😭
@@jillianelise5 HAHA YES-
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.
It depends. If they don't want to hire you, then they won't hire you. It can be for any arbitrary reason. They just can't say certain reasons for rejecting someone if it's illegal to discriminate against...they'll just say a different reason.
John Sampson Or just not get back to you.
@@dylan_van2198 That's the most likely response...yes.
ill tell you what companies want. they want ppl with the right age to have family and be so deep shit into the debt system that they will just open wide and suck it for 2 bucks. youngsters will tell these companies to fuck off, most of the time. older ppl can't, it even they wanted to.
@@tobiasripper4124 bro wtf kinda comment is this
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.
Unfortunately ageism laws only apply to people age 40 or older (depending on state). I'm sorry you had to go through that.
Me too. I got denied jobs and was told to come back when I was 18. But I was 18!
@@Alrightythen-es4gv in america most jobs count volunteer if you did so as a side gig in highschool. Not so much later on unless it helped you grow somewhere related. Like a non profit
@@Alrightythen-es4gv that's stupid. But I bet there is a loop hole. Like if the volutneer pays you even 5 bucks for working then they would have to count it. Someone on a reddit working law in scotland might have suggestions. There is always loop holes
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.
Ahhh, government job... Don't get me started on that.
"I'm a black man in America. I know a lot about being treated badly"
Sad as shit
Der Kaiser why yawn
We get it you hate white people
Der Kaiser maybe he’s been actually treated badly in the past tho

What does her race have to do with anything?

She went IIIIIIINNNNN !!!!! 😂 👏🏽
They're the best on the show lol
@@Esther-ku8le Right I Agree
I felt bad for the older guy when nearly everyone was walking away and not defending him:(
That's because people see women as weak.
Unfortunately true, yet regardless of your gender, these situations often leave you feeling powerless and alone.
@@kevinc1001 boy are you in the 1950's still? Most boys I know treat girls equally to men
10:58 That woman’s...Apology...” I m Sorry” was so adorable and I loved her sarcasm and her authenticity She was the Best♥️♥️
The best quote is, "we're rolling, one last time".
Me: yes, my favorite part
Same😂
When she said, “Mind your own business” I thought that woman was gonna leap across the counter.
Our black women don't accept that from a younger person, it's disrespectful 😡
Alhassan E. Jatta Damn straight
Right she had that look in her eyes 😭😭
Facts🤣 I was scared for the bartender. The actresses better be getting paid a lot for the stuff they have to go thru just for a tv show..
She sound like my Aunt from Chicago
When she said “what do you know about being treated badly?” I went 🤭
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.
BRUH HAHAHAHAHAH
Lmao
LMFAO!!!!!
If this scenario were real, I don’t think it would be worth working at a place with such disrespectful coworkers.
Moo
Well, it was only the manager in this case, but yeah
You’re right on that general statement
It would be worth making the point that I could get the job though lol
“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.
u pretty
I’ve always been closer to the people who are about 20 or so years older than me that I’ve worked with. Then again, I’ve been told I have an “old soul”. I always enjoy hearing about their life.
@@neversaygoodbye4 same here 42 years old but feel like if I was 70 currently and by stating this I am saying the least. I speak six foreign languages hence my knowledge undoubtedly affects my approach and my consciousness....
@AshLeighDaxton Brilliantly said.
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.
This is all an act
@@gojosatoru1033 It's an act but also a real situation that could actually happen
@@zlatastefanovic8331 i was focusing more on the line and i quote "They've clearly never worked in a real restaurant"

@@zlatastefanovic8331 ok im sorry i edited it
I love the women who screamed "I'm sorry" after knowing she was on the show
You can tell she’s a sweetheart and funny too
The actress playing the "older" applicant IS SO GOOD
12:25
"What do you know about being treated badly?"
It was at that moment she knew... *She fucked up*
"Applicant denied bartending job due to age"
Me: Highly illegal and can be sued for discrimination
Lol
Yup
Are you a law student? 👀
They have the right not to hire someone
@@alexh3903 Yes, but not on the basis of identity (race, religion, gender, age, etc) unless they can prove that said identity is integral to the job's function, like how women are less likely to be hired at certain warehouse jobs because women are less likely to meet certain requirements for lifting/handling merchandise.
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 😞
She asked the question to the wrong person
@Light Kira that's doesnt apply to everyone. Racism is a thing. It's sad. But we need to acknowledge it. People of color have been treat differently for years and it's still happening.
@Light Kira tell that to the families who lost they're loved ones who were murdered for being black.
Light Kira resisting arrest doesn’t warrant death. you’re everything that’s wrong with america. wake up people are dying at the hands of the police for their skin color. it’s not that you can’t see it it’s that you refuse to see it. acab
@Light Kira even the ones who's family did nothing but go out for a jog. People of color have to watch out for there lives every day just because of the color of their skin. #blacklivesmatter
😂😂😂😂 I died when she said “he might not even hear me cuz he’s so OLD “😂😂 oh I LOVED her 😂❤❤
The black customers were dope af!!! ❤ they stand up for others in the face of adversity🙏
Only the black ones huh? XD
I bet in real life they won't
"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."
@夏美여름 A made-up scenario that we're supposed to treat as real life.
@夏美여름 ohh! Okk, since it's just a made-up scenario...then I think that old lady doesn't deserve that job she deserves no job on the planet. She doesn't deserve to be on the planet..
Only if it was real then she would be deserving of getting the job.
@@shrikant11211 ok wtf
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)
This is perfect! 👏👏👏
Darmam plot twists
I screamed when she said “maybe we could speak up”.😂😂😂
Right, lol 😂
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.
John Quinones: " Why is it important to speak up?"
Person who spoke up: " Um because it's wrong duh"
lol
John Quinones: really... 🧐
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
I'm denied "entry level jobs" and I'm 22😂
The one's he's applying to need to retire
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!
I would love to be served by that woman she seems like she got stories to tell and good advice to give
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
I thought the same thing deadass
I thought the same when I saw the title
I thought the same thing
lmao same
I thought the same 🤦🏾♀️
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.
Humans are known for being extremely judgemental of each other.
@@ravenseye9179 Who know it... the aliens?
Amen
@Linux Chrasher No. See... what your racist mind isn't comprehending is that... all things being equal, when someone is discriminated against based on age, a black man will be MORE discriminated against. You see, someone can actually be discriminated against for MULTIPLE reasons... and since a black man is also able to be old, they can have MORE discrimination. Try to keep up.
@Linux Chrasher Ahhh. Well, you should know better that to joke like that without dropping a LOL or 🙄 in somewhere. Can't interpret humor via text, especially in UA-cam comments... and with so many trolls about.
The lady in the glasses and vest was great!
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.
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.
Reminds me of the “Denied job because of gender” episode.
Oh damn,i didnt watch that one yet,cool though
Yessir
Part of their whole “Denied Job Because of [Insert X]-ism” lineup
Have they done a “denied job because of sexuality?”
Bass Armstrong: I remember those.
We need this show in the UK, coz I feel like barely anybody would stick up for anyone 😕
I gotta tell you, I really appreciate how this show switches things up with race and gender to show different reactions! Kudos!
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

Still miss Tracy tho lol
“And don’t ever tell me to mind my f****** business” ooof!
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. 😁👍🏻
Black people are defending for victims 90% time on wwyd. It's just beautiful 😍
xoxo xo I watch a lot wits closer to a 50/50 split between black and white
I think 90% is a huge overstatement.

@@dherman0001 Can't you just see her as a human?
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.
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.
aaaaaah love her so much
9:48 "Ooo that's a good idea." Lmao Sutton you perfect beautiful angel.
Sutton Foster seems very genuine, humble, and down to earth!
She is. Speaking to her is like a breath of fresh air. She's incredibly kind.
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!
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.
OMG I was not ready for Sutton! My musical theatre heart can’t take it 😁
"I think you're very tone deaf!" Damn right, he knows what's up! XD
Ageism is also big towards younger adults too, mostly towards men, I was constantly rejected because I was young
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! 😭😭
never insult a black woman, she’ll mess u up

Your wish came true
Check the length of the vid, you can tell just by that
A premiere is the actual episode.
did you mean a preview?
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
Last man said has been there and yet he put a smile on his face ! Wow much respect to this guy .
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 😁
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.
True.
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.
You and me both girl. 😊 Sutton is so incredibly kind. She's my favourite human. ❤
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.
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.
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.
1:18 you scared the S outta her when introducing yourself. 😂😂
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.
Exactly! Just horrible!!!
Joy Behar is 77 so she has no room to talk.😂
She doesn't look her age though.
Am I the only one who clicked on this thinking it would be about someone underage?
I did.
😅 I thought the same
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 that first woman sm she was so sweet 😭
When John says, "We're rolling one last time," you already know somethings about to go down...
Yeah exactly
Notice how only a few people defended the man. And most people helped the lady why?
Perhaps the men prefer to be served by an old female waitress rather than an old male waiter.
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.
I cracked up when she said “well, I mean we can just speak up”.😂😂😂 loved it.
SUTTON FOSTER?!?!
I love her!!!!!!! My little theatre heart is so happy!!!!!!
I was shocked!!! I love her
Forget getting to meet John Quinones. I would freak out if I was one of those people.
"Look at me and look at you."
*i would've slapped her*
The last guy is sooo chill😃
Great job!
The thing is, AGE DISCRIMINATION is a thing to a lot of countries especially in the Philippines. You'll even see that there are age restrictions on every job 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
It's the same thing in Mexico.
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 😂
Yeah so true 🤣.
TBF, it's a natural human reaction -- almost no one wants to admit that they've been "suckered", esp knowing millions of people (very possibly including some they know) will see the episode, so the default response is to just deny it.
Sharky165 so true lol
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
Diana is a really incredible actress, her facial expressions and tone of voice were so convincing and heartbreaking! Really excellent acting
