  • 0:03 - 0:04
    FEMALE_1: Hi.
  • 0:04 - 0:05
    FEMALE_2: Hi.
  • 0:05 - 0:06
    FEMALE_1: Just one
    question really quick.
  • 0:06 - 0:08
    You're not over 40, are you?
  • 0:08 - 0:08
    FEMALE_2: No.
  • 0:08 - 0:09
    FEMALE_1: Perfect. Great.
  • 0:09 - 0:11
    FEMALE_2: Age limit?
  • 0:11 - 0:13
    MALE_1: I'm not under
    40, I'm over 40.
  • 0:13 - 0:15
    FEMALE_1: We are not serving
    anybody over 40 today.
  • 0:15 - 0:18
    We're trying to have a little
    bit younger vibe today.
  • 0:18 - 0:21
    You are exactly what
    we're looking for.
  • 0:22 - 0:24
    If you're under 40,
  • 0:24 - 0:26
    I'm actually not going
    to take your order, sir.
  • 0:26 - 0:28
    Thank you so much
    for your interest.
  • 0:28 - 0:30
    We're just trying
    something different.
  • 0:30 - 0:37
    You're just not exactly
    what we're looking for.
  • 0:37 - 0:39
    FEMALE_3: Every day,
    age discrimination
  • 0:39 - 0:41
    happens in the workplace
    behind closed doors,
  • 0:41 - 0:43
    and we wanted to see what it
  • 0:43 - 0:45
    would look like out in the open.
  • 0:45 - 0:47
    We hid cameras in
    a food truck and
  • 0:47 - 0:50
    refused to serve anyone over 40.
  • 0:50 - 0:53
    FEMALE_1: Are you under 40?
  • 0:53 - 0:55
    FEMALE_4: No. It's for
    my daughter, not for me.
  • 0:55 - 0:56
    FEMALE_2: Oh, it's
    for your daughter.
  • 0:56 - 0:57
    FEMALE_4: Yeah.
  • 0:57 - 0:59
    FEMALE_1: As long as you
    don't eat them, okay.
  • 0:59 - 1:01
    Do you promise that
    you won't eat them?
  • 1:01 - 1:02
    FEMALE_4: I promise.
  • 1:02 - 1:04
    FEMALE_1: Actually, if you
    could just step away from
  • 1:04 - 1:07
    the food truck since
    you're not under 40,
  • 1:07 - 1:09
    and I'll bring you the beignets.
  • 1:09 - 1:10
    I don't want people to
    get the wrong impression
  • 1:10 - 1:11
    if you're standing over here.
  • 1:11 - 1:13
    MALE_2: This is ridiculous.
  • 1:13 - 1:15
    FEMALE_1: You guys
    are under 40, right?
  • 1:15 - 1:16
    FEMALE_5: Yes.
  • 1:16 - 1:18
    FEMALE_1: Great. I can take
    your order. Absolutely.
  • 1:18 - 1:19
    FEMALE_5: I don't know
    what's happening.
  • 1:19 - 1:21
    MALE_3: This is a
    really stupid thing,
  • 1:21 - 1:23
    and I starting to get
    really pissed off.
  • 1:23 - 1:25
    FEMALE_6: Let's go. If you
  • 1:25 - 1:27
    have a specific
    problem with somebody,
  • 1:27 - 1:28
    then you should just say that.
  • 1:28 - 1:30
    MALE_3: Screw you. Stupid.
  • 1:30 - 1:32
    FEMALE_7: Are you for real?
  • 1:34 - 1:36
    Walking away, I
    felt really upset.
  • 1:36 - 1:38
    I almost started crying.
  • 1:38 - 1:40
    I was updating my
    resume recently,
  • 1:40 - 1:41
    and I wanted to sound
  • 1:41 - 1:43
    experienced without
    sounding too old.
  • 1:43 - 1:45
    I was like, oh, I'm experienced,
  • 1:45 - 1:46
    but that's almost not
    an asset anymore.
  • 1:46 - 1:48
    It's like, I have to
    sound young and relevant.
  • 1:48 - 1:49
    FEMALE_1: Older
    people just don't
  • 1:49 - 1:51
    really fit into our culture.
  • 1:51 - 1:52
    MALE_4: That's ridiculous.
  • 1:52 - 1:54
    FEMALE_1: We actually don't
    think that this track is
  • 1:54 - 1:57
    a good fit for you, I'm sorry.
  • 1:57 - 1:59
    MALE_4: I was
    outraged. This stunt
  • 1:59 - 2:00
    makes me want to take action
  • 2:00 - 2:01
    to help others who might be
  • 2:01 - 2:04
    discriminated against
    because of their age.
