Legally, in NS at least as far as I know, they can't say flatly that all women are incapable of lifting that much weight. They would have to state in the job description that it requires lifting weights of up to 100 lbs (or whatever the cutoff is, and the applicant would have to be made aware of that in the interview.

To me, it sounds more like a stupid call on the part of that manager/store, as it could get them sued.
