Because the people we talk to are all much younger and just don't see our value. Also, they identify with people who are like themselves or younger. If you think back how many times can you remember a person in their 50's get hired for anything in your company?

Experience, work ethic, professionalism go out the window, if you are over 60. Foodservice especially!
