I often feel, it's pure business oriented...nothing else
But I feel it's an insult to senior citizens even if they are paid

I also feel pity for those people.Really I feel very sorry when senior people serve us.But when they serve me to open the gate or in any way I just stop them and do it myself.

Please do not be so emotional. The security guards, especially the seniors, are mostly ex servicemen. It is part of security to see or check everyone who enters. They have to see whether there is any suspicious character. By opening and closing door each time, they perform their job. They cannot straightway show that they are making a security check.

All establishments have to attract customers and give them facilities and respect as much as can be. They employ men who are paid for this. This is not dishonorable. Begging and crimes are dishonorable. work of any kind is not bad or dishonorable.

It is true that customer can open and close the door itself. If we do so then we are making a person loose his job. That's not fair. Let him and close the door. World is place of merciless people.

I agree. There is only business interest in commercial establishment. If you show undue care for the senior citizen employed and show that he is too old for the job, management will surely sack him.

This is not isolated case. There are also senior citizens working as Coolies, Riksha pullers and oing many petty jobs. As long as one needs money and he has no source of income like past saving, interest or rental income or support from children, he has to work. Instead of showing too much compassion, we need appreciate their efforts of self dependence. Incidentally, i am also a senior citizen and still working.
