Walking into a car dealership as a woman comes with its own set of unwritten rules and anxiety. You try to read the room and figure out whether you're being helped or handled, aka whether you’re being treated differently because of your gender. It’s infuriating, and you just want the same treatment for customers across the board.
Sometimes it's obvious, but sometimes you genuinely can't tell. Here’s what happened to this woman when she picked up her loaner car.
Was This Car Dealer Sexist?
In a video, content creator Rebecca Adam (@rebecky_adam) shares that she was picking up a loaner car from a dealership. She says that as the salesman walked her through the car, he shared a very specific warning that left her wondering whether the talk was genuinely about protecting the car or mistrust because she’s a woman.
"I've never had this conversation picking up a loaner car before,” she says in the text overlay.
