I'm sure umbrella girls are considered "models," not drivers

And I'm also pretty sure Dale Gribble already tried the Hooters thing.

Actually companies can't that be picky on who they hire. That doesn't mean they aren't though, most of them are just smart about it and don't blatantly put it right in the listing!

It's no less discriminatory than a business putting up a general add, and then hiring the hot chick, after 300 unemployed men apply for the job.
It is ballsy, but...it does narrow down the field, and the poster is honest about it.
Let's face it...this type of stuff happens everywhere, everyday.
And maybe in this crappy economy, the person doing the hiring is probably looking for an edge...I see it all the time in my line of work. It's a proven fact that people will remember/buy from the hot chick that comes around...sad, but true. It's not discrimination, it's advertising...and sexy sells...bottom line.

Look, I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but to put it in the listing is just retarded!

Hahaha...I'm Irish and speak fluent spanish...I have to in order to work in this area.
I have applied to so many construction jobs, that want spanish and english speakers...only to be turned down because I am white. ( but that is for another thread)
Seriously though...your quote was written in times that are not as crazy as the ones we live in now...and sadly, they have never applied to (not to sound racist) white guys like us

As a business owner, what's wrong with discrimination?
I want qualified people to improve & grow my business.
To do this, there are certain characteristics that I look for in a potential employee.


Not every one is equal.
