Home Depot Discrimination Or Old People Preferences?

I'm a young adult man, Hispanic mixed and I haven't been hired by 5 Home Depots in my state, Nevada. I quit my Burlington job since that sucked hard for 10 dollars per hour, I'm amazed I lasted 7 months. This happened a few months I applied a lot on the site and Home Depot was the only job they wouldn't have given me and I mostly got hired by a lot of retail stores in the past. This happened this year, 4 month span. I got so confused as to why Home Depot wouldn't hire me that I kept applying, getting to the interview then getting ghosted. It was always the same too, I wore a suit (my ma always forced me to do that), asked where is the manager, they asked the most boring generic questions, I answered, left then that was about it. The workers in all…


I'm a young adult man, Hispanic mixed and I haven't been hired by 5 Home Depots in my state, Nevada. I quit my Burlington job since that sucked hard for 10 dollars per hour, I'm amazed I lasted 7 months. This happened a few months I applied a lot on the site and Home Depot was the only job they wouldn't have given me and I mostly got hired by a lot of retail stores in the past. This happened this year, 4 month span. I got so confused as to why Home Depot wouldn't hire me that I kept applying, getting to the interview then getting ghosted. It was always the same too, I wore a suit (my ma always forced me to do that), asked where is the manager, they asked the most boring generic questions, I answered, left then that was about it. The workers in all of them were the same too, old people and light skinned mostly. In 1 of the interviews a redneck worker said after following him to the manager “I wouldn't hire you if I was in charge” I bite my tongue on that and ignored that. I don't like to pull the discrimination card yet, it started to get ridiculous at that point like some dark comedy sketch. This 12 dollars per hour job was more difficult than anything I ever faced before. I literally gave up applying to Home Depot at that point and my old minimum wage quit to go back to school. It's insane how much other people may try over and over get to the interview part then ghosted like this. Really makes me respect r/antiwork even after the TV interview disaster.

PS:Before anyone asks, my parents pretty much made me do 5 applications per day since I quit my job so Home Depot was my go to for them to quit annoying them from getting exploited by retailers. Since, they were brainwashed of ironing their uniform, arriving 20 minutes before work and that stuff. Believing that “work hard get a promotion” ideology trash.
