My boyfriend called a store for me helping me find a job (it's tough out here, so many places but not enough are hiring that I can do) they told him that they were hiring so I went ahead and submitted my application and gave them a call and they straight up told me they weren't hiring at all. What's up with that??? This was all within a span of 10 minutes by the way.

They liked the guy who called 10 mins ago. Not their fault you are dating a winner.

Very weird to have your partner apply for you. It would be off putting to me if a candidate did that. I’d question their ability to confidently handle the job if they can’t apply on their own.

Counsel, he just called to ask if they were hiring, that’s pretty normal and they easily could have thought he was calling for himself

That's so weird, I don't think I've ever experienced something like that, especially within a 10 minute time frame. Are you sure you called the same place? Maybe it's worth just going in and putting in your resume anyway?

Why didn’t you make the call yourself?

I was already calling other spots to see if they were hiring, he was simply just helping me out.

WOW. That is crazy. I can't believe you got two different answers. I would still apply and then maybe ask to speak to a manager to find out if they are or aren't hiring. I am sorry that happened to you.

Probably the store was very busy . So when your bf called them they had too give a quick answer

It is pretty clear they were discriminating against you because of your gender. You should sue.
