So you are trying to hire chicks with huge knockers and you are expecting them to be smart too?

I think the problem is not with them.

i don't think that is the reason he is looking to hire females, don't be so quick to judge people.

It's probably the same reason you don't see men working in Victoria's Secret.

Thanks Wes...

Big knockers or not if you cannot pass a simple test like this, you should not be working in a retail environment, dealing with money and working with customers.

My wife and I have businesses that are involved in swimwear, lingerie, and female clothing lines, 95% of our customers are female based, so yes a female employee is required for employment in our place and not a man.

If my wife or myself can't leave our businesses because we have to worry that we are going to loose customers, loose money or our employees are going to fool around when we are not there, etc, then frankly we don't need them.

Maybe yiliyang can't pass the test either, got offended and wanted to work in Burger king, but they gave him a test like this one and he could not pass it and now is stuck stocking shelves in a supermarket. Don't be quick to judge and make a statement like this "I think the problem is not with them" without knowing the person behind the username.

I bet you do not have your own business...

The quickest way to be out of business is to make comments like "My wife and I have businesses that are involved in swim wear, lingerie, and female clothing lines, 95% of our customers are female based, so yes a female employee is required for employment in our place and not a man." Its still discrimination, if a male comes in and aces your test will you still not hire him?

Actually we do...

As it is, me being there presents a problem with female customers because I am a man, they ask me questions I can't answer and addition to that I can't help them with trying on stuff in the fitting room.

Let me ask you something; Your wife walks into a lingerie store, wants to try on stuff, you would not mind a man giving her suggestions, making a selection on an adult item or helping her putting on items where touching is involved? I bet you would...

It is common sense when you see a lingerie store that females will be working there and not men. For a man to walk in and fill out an application in a females lingerie store for a sales girl position, then in my opinion he is up to something...

It doesnt matter if I feel comfortable or not that doesn't change the law.

Victoria secret hires males because they know if they have a policy of not hiring males they will be out of business.

As a business owner you should know better then to say something like that. Im surprised you still have a business being so open about not hiring males. Its one thing to not hire males, but to openly SAY you dont hire males simply because they are male? You might as well say the same about minorities or disabled people. It is exactly the same and the courts have upheld this time and time again.

I do hire males for other positions for our warehouse, stocking and to handle orders, inventory and other things, not for a sales girl position where they are working directly with customers.

Hooters had the same argument, that they hire male cooks,etc,etc. But the servers needed to be females. They ended up settling out of court for over 3 million (better then the 22 million they were looking at). That argument doesn't work. Don't take my word for it contact your attorney and see what he says about what you have said here. In the laws eyes you could have replaced Male with "Blacks" and its exactly the same discrimination. Just because 95% of your customers are white doesn't mean you can't hire minorities.
