GRRRR (Part II)
Being a woman, I think it is very important for me to handle my business independently. However, this tool at the dealership - THE OWNER, mind you - would not give me the time of day.
Now, I have talked to this jerk probably 10 times since I bought my car and each time he has treated me almost like I didn't exist at all. He walks away from me. Ignores me. Patronizes me. I'm sick of it. I figured I needed to get something done before I flipped my shit and sawed his nuts off with my lugnut hook (which is another story). After not getting a response from Howard, I decided to ask my boss for advice. Andy had the owner, Howard, on speakerphone and I got to hear this jackass APOLOGIZE TO ANDY and say how sloppy they'd been and how it'd been over a month (over 2, thank you very much) and how he was terribly sorry and that the problem would be rectified within 10 days.
What?!! As soon as I get a man on the phone, he is all lick-ass when I can't even get the guy to pay attention to me?!
I wish I could prevent every sale they have for the next 6 months. I wish this guy would get a clue. Obviously, I need to be patient because people will take notice of that kind of behavior and word gets around and he is in a competition-driven industry. I want it to happen now.
It is incredibly hard for me to deal with the fact that I am a minority and my business/feelings/satisfaction are completely unimportant to some people.

Damn, your patience have been tested to their limits lately, Chica. I'm proud of you for how you've handled this.
I'm sorry, were you saying something? I was staring at your tits.

Ah, Chris...good to have you back.
:P
It is frustrating, I agree. People in that position should be ashamed of doing that to women - what would they say if someone tried to brush off their mother, wife, girlfriend, aunt or daughter? I guarantee you the tables would be turned.
hang in there.
