Allow me. It's illegal for an employer to discriminate against applicants based on gender when it doesn't serve a direct business purpose. (Actors, Models, Priests, etc.)

While I can sympathize and understand their reasons, I can not condone their solution.

And this is why Abercrombie&Fitch has no cashiers, only "models".
