A restaurant advertisement seeking servers under 30 years old could lead to accusations of which type of discrimination?

Religious discrimination
Racial discrimination
Age discrimination
Sex discrimination

The correct answer is: Age discrimination

The decision to seek servers under 30 years old specifically targets a particular age group, which raises concerns regarding age discrimination. In employment practices, age discrimination occurs when individuals are treated less favorably because of their age. By advertising for servers under a specific age threshold, the business is inadvertently excluding older candidates from consideration, which can lead to claims that they are not being given equal opportunity based on their age. This kind of targeting could also violate laws that protect against age discrimination, such as the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). It is essential in the hospitality industry, or any industry, to promote an inclusive environment that welcomes applicants of all ages to avoid potential legal issues and foster a diverse workplace.
