Thirty odd years ago there was a chain of Pancake Parlours around Oz. No matter the geographical location, every one of them I entered was staffed in the kitchen by only males, all of whom were rather lean, and all of the front-of-house staff were young women who were required to wear (and look good) in T shirts. I'd been told they were all owned by a pseudo-religious cult but now there's legislation proscribing such discrimination.

Virgin Airlines recently appeared in court in Oz claiming that the reason all their flight attendants were young and good looking and that a series of very experienced (and necessarily older, but still attractive) applicants for flight attendant positions had been rejected was 'accidental and not based on company policy'.

I believe there was some reference to porcine flying helmets at Virgin's claim.
