Age discrimination is a legally recognized discrimination.

Age classification isn't.

Depends on where this happened but in the US IIRC age discrimination only covers people older than 40. Discriminating against young people is legal, and it's not clear to me that describing someone as "young" is a form of discrimation.

I'm pretty sure, in the US, at least, that a customer is absolutely allowed to discriminate against the companies they make purchases from.

Except no one was discriminating against anyone. They simply described them.

In US every description is a discrimination. Fat, slim, black, white ( they say caucasian in movies without knowing what skin color the people living in that region have), master, slave, red, yellow.

And i bet Lyft will never hire a Dick (Chenney) or a Peacock .
