Age Discrimination at Walgreens towards older employees?

I have been working with Walgreens for 6 months. I am 50 years old and have been begging them to give me more hours per week , then just 13 hours. I notice on the schedule sheet that most of the younger workers get full time even though they started work there after I was hired. Do you think age discrimination is happening here?

Answer:
At my store it's a physical condition thing, not an age thing. If I have 20 pallets of 50-pound boxes to be lifted and put away, then I'm only going to schedule people who can lift those 50-pound boxes. If someone can't lift that much, then they can be cashier that day, but I only need X number of cashiers and have a limited payroll budget.
Not necessarily. I would just ask your supervisor why you are not getting any more hours.
I think it may be your availability for hours. I have seen people beg for hours and have very limited availability.
