When we see a person who has a different shape of eyes, hair, clothes or behavior, possibly we¡¦ll define that person as to what kind of individual he/she is or his job, that is by stereotypes.

The man was only wearing a T-shirt and a pair of trousers, but there was no policy that said they couldn¡¦t be customers. Same kind of stereotypes are still happening around the world every day.
