whoever is in charge of hiring employees are very sexist. not sure why, but i’ve been going to candys for quite a while, and have never once seen a man behind the counter. I thought it was by chance and maybe that they just had more female applicants than male, until me and a few friends (male) decided to try to apply. we all tried during different times of the year, and we were all turned down. they gave the majority of us a different reason, which is a huge red flag. it may be a marketing strategy because maybe they are under the false impression that women bring in more ice cream sales, which would not make any logical sense, and at that point would just be using women to make a profit. either way, the way this country is built today is supposed to offer equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of gender, but clearly...
