What reasons do most companies give for not hiring someone for discriminatory reasons?

[Locut0s]

Ok so racial, sexual and other discriminatory hiring practices are illegal. but lets face it companies discriminate all the time. It's no coincidence that just about ever waiter and waitress in all the high end bars and restaurants are young, handsome, and sexy. The owner of a Japanese restaurant is more likely to hire Japanese or Asian staff, having joe blow behind the counter making your sashimi doesn't lend the restaurant that air of authenticity after all no matter how good he may be. If I was the owner of a trendy salon or sex shop somewhere down town I might choose to hire gay men instead of straight to cater to a given female customer base. These are mostly just common buisness practices. Question is what excuses do they usually give for not hiring someone they are discriminating against?

I'm not arguing that real discrimination is right, I don't really feel most of these practices count as real discrimination but legally there's not much different about them.

what's night hiring?

Yes, it's true that most if not all employers discriminate from time to time, but the kick is, how are you going to prove it? All the employer has to say is the personality didn't fit with the current employees. No law against that.

Yeah generic denial letter. But then you wouldn't be getting one of these if you were going to be the CEO. The kind of jobs I'm talking about are low income jobs where you'd be lucky to even get a phone call or anything. Question is what reason do they give if you were to ask or pushed about it?

When I did bar hiring I told the ugly/big ladies who wanted to work bartender that we had found someone more qualified for the position and we wish them luck in there career in the industry. If they pushed it I sent a certified mail with a denial letter to them outlining reasons we would not hire them (everyone always has a few).

I've heard that you're not supposed to give reasons. Even if it's something like "you were convicted for killing 3 children", it's still better to be vague and just say they weren't the most qualified. There's always someone out there who will rule that it's discrimination to not hire a pedophile for a babysitting job.

Oh, by reasons I meant generic shit like "Your personality doesn't fit with the staff, we found someone with better qualifications, We decided on another candidate at the moment, ect ect"

No way I'd be like "yeah, your too ugly our customers would go down the street to buy/flirt with the cute bartender they have"
