I am co owner of a prodomiently male business with my brother. We sell automotive service equipment. This is the equipment you find in service bays of auto repair shops or dealerships (ie. lifts, tire changers, balancers, etc). I've been called honey, sweetie, cupcake

by male customers...right up until they realize I know and understand this equipment
That is funny! And I deal with it everyday~ Men come in and Explain something or as a question,,and I answer it, then they say " I need to talk to one of the guys." I then say " Well they are busy repairing automobiles and there time is WAY more valuable than mine, plus they'll tell you the same thing I just did!" Then they are usually speechless,and listen to what I have to say.
Sign behind my desk~ Do you want to talk to the MAN in charge or the WOMAN that knows what's going on?
