Today, desperate for work, I went into a shop and asked the owner if he had any spare jobs to fill. He looked me up and down and sneered "Yes, but not for people like... you." FML

Some people are just shallow, don't worry OP, you'll find a job soon enough.

Some people are too quick to judge by appearance. Sorry OP!

Considering there was no description on why OP was rejected, can't say it is or isn't illegal.

I'm pretty sure that's illegal and considered profileing.

"not for people like you" is too vague to conclusively prove that. OP could've walked in looking disheveled or with piercings/tattoos (not saying he wouldn't deserve a job solely because of that, but it is a possibility.)

Sue for discrimination! If you win, you might not need a job for a while! ;D

"...people like...you?" What the heck is THAT supposed to mean? If that's how they talk to certain people, then you're better off looking for a job elsewhere OP. Desperate or not, you at least deserve some respect.

And now you send his ass to the BBB. (Better Business Bureau) Thats no way to treat someone.

You may want to reconsider that, considering OP is in the United Kingdom. I'm pretty sure there's no Better Business Bureau there.

why is this getting negative votes? It's true, this person wants to go find a job and work for his money rather than beg on the streets for money. I'd say that's a good thing (ps: nothing against homeless people. I happily volunteer with salvos)

#50, it's because the grammar and spelling suck so horribly that we either can't understand them, or we're hoping they'll get a dictionary for their birthday and use it.
