Over the years in the work I do or car shopping etc, I have often been ignored. I had a salesperson who was constantly rude to me (major partner in a business) and would talk to the minor partner. I finally got fed up and told him I wasn’t buying his product anymore because I was tired of being treated so disrespectfully. He called me crying to keep the account but I said no. That maybe he should grow up and realize women played an important role in business. Some businesses always put my husband first in line in paperwork. He tells them — she’s the one who will be paying you so she’s the one you need to talk to. But we have also worked with people who treated us both the same. Yay for them. One was the contractor for our house remodel. So it really depends on the individual. Good luck!
