The ad stated: "This is a busy, friendly, small salon, so only happy, friendly stylist need apply"
A hair salon says it was told by a job center it couldn't run an advertisement recruiting a “happy” stylist because the word is “discriminatory” against unhappy people. Alison Birch listed a job ad looking for a part-time qualified hairdresser at her AJ's Unisex Hair Salon in Stroud, England,. The position called for someone with five years’ experience of working in a salon, who is "confident in barbering as well as all aspects of hairdressing.” And the advertisement stated, "This is a busy, friendly, small salon, so only happy, friendly stylists need apply." But on Wednesday, Birch says she received a call from her local job center informing her they could not run her ad because the word “happy” is considered “discriminatory.”
Birch claims the job center told her that the advertisement may make some people feel they cannot apply if they do not consider themselves to be a “happy” person. Birch shared the conversation she had with the job center on the salon's Facebook page. She claims the man at the job center said to her: "I'm sorry, but the word happy is a discriminatory word and we aren’t allowed to use it, as somebody who is not happy will be discriminated against."
According to Birch, he then asked: "Should we change the word in case somebody thinks that they can’t apply for the job because they are not a happy person?"

Seems ridiculous, but you probably did have bipolar people suing under the ADA.
Permascowls need not apply.
So I guess ‘gay caballero’ is no longer okee dokee? :-)
“B!tch face”.
In all truth, silly thing to put in a job advertisement. Just look fr signs of it during the interview.
It’s discriminatory against people like me who have 0 experience working in a salon.
Mot Satirus!!
A photo lab not hiring the blind was once joked about as violating ADA.
I don’t want to hire unhappy people, aka democrats.
“I suppose all the old episodes of the Partridge Family will be pulled because of their theme song, C’mon get HAPPY? “
I’m okay with this, as long as we never have to hear “Shiny Happy People” by R.E.M. again.
“Should we change the word in case somebody thinks that they can’t apply for the job because they are not a happy person?”
Yeah sure sport. They can apply all day long. Moron...
Oh puhlleaasssee...
It’s a way to screen since every other way is banned.
"Shiny happy people--" Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey! Pull that bus over to the side of the pretentiousness turnpike, all right? I want everybody off the bus. I want the shiny people over here, and the happy people over here, okay? I represent angry gun-toting meat-eating f...ing people, all right? - Dennis Leary
This is in England. They probably have something even worse than the ADA.
Next up, “must practice proper hygiene” will be discriminatory against smelly, scruffy and disheveled persons.
Looking for a mentally ill stylist who has multi color hair hates everyone and does drugs on the side
On the side?
Stylist: Excuse me, I need a fix right now
(pulls out needle and drugs, shoots up without leaving the station.)
Stylist: Ok, that’s better, now where is that shaving straight razor?
New hairdresser for Pelosi. No way that person could be happy.
