I think that may well be the case Terry, they are not supposed to discriminate, but I think they do. I am 67 in a few days, I have a part time job, which I enjoy,as it is in the same business which I have always been in, just a much easier job. I notice some of the remarks that I get sometimes, makes you think . I find I have to make sure that I don't make any mistakes, because some people will use anything as an excuse to get rid of you, when it's really age .

We have a Wendy's restaurant near us with a 93 yr. old lady who does some light cleaning, and some prep work. They like her better than most half her age. She is glad to be there, has a good attitude, and works harder than most of the young kids. She also greets customers with a smile and chats with them as she sweeps. Nice to see Wendy's hiring the aged population.
