I was a police officer for 25 years before I retired. While working one day, I had to stop by a car dealership. While there, I was perusing the vehicles, looking at a new tow vehicle. I was asking about the tow ratings, the GVWR, etc. and the salesman asked me when I could come back with my husband. I thought I had not heard him correctly and asked him to repeat that. He did and I told him I would NOT be returning to that dealership and would purchase MY truck from somewhere else. I did make sure that I spoke with the general manager and the owner, though not that day. I was pretty ticked off and knew I would say something ugly so I waited a day or two.
I did order a brand spanking new truck from a competitor about two months later.
This bias is lots of places. When we went to buy my wife a new motorcycle, the salesman kept addressing me, as the man. (It was the third bike we purchased for her from that same dealership)
I finally said to the salesman:"My wife is an experienced rider, and has her own requirements. If you wish to sell her this motorcycle or anything else, please speak to her." I then walked away to insure that it would happen..
