b. A waitress asks Robin what her father would like to order at a restaurant.
This scenario implies an assumption about Robin's preferences based on her age, assuming that her father would be making the decisions for her. Ageism involves stereotyping, prejudice, or discrimination against individuals or groups based on their age, and this example reflects a stereotypical belief about the role of older individuals in decision-making for younger people.
