So what you're saying that an Office Service Rep for Canon copiers don't have to know the features of the new machines and they don't have to stand for long stretches of time?
Most older people don't want to learn anything new and that was probably why they put it in there as a indirect way to keep them out. Then some older folks have arthritis, guess you didn't know that huh?
Um...there are quite a few of us older workers who could meet those requirements The hardest for me would be the 75#. Even when I was younger, 75# would be a stretch.

People who are 50 to 60 and older...can run circles around some younger people. People in that age group that I know - including myself - are healthy and strong. Are we getting into stereotyping here? LOL!!!

Um i know some 55 and older who have joint issues so when I see all that lifting and standing it made me think they were discriminating in a sneaky way
Well that's good for her but there are still lots of 55 year old who cannot do it
There would be folks in their 20's, 30's, 40's who could not do it. Usually the lifting requirement is around 40 lbs., possibly 50.
