The automotive industry has a long-standing reputation as a male-dominated industry. Despite the progress made toward gender equality, gender stereotypes are still prevalent in the industry. Advertisements for cars have been accused of perpetuating these stereotypes, while sexist remarks about women drivers are still present in society.
A recent TikTok video shared on the Superkrazykarens channel highlights how some customers contribute to the reinforcement of these gender stereotypes. In the video, an employee named Autumn from a Central Chevrolet auto service center is shown talking on the phone with a female customer who demanded to speak to a male mechanic.
The incident has sparked outrage online, with people expressing their frustration at the customer’s attitude. The incident serves as a reminder of the work that still needs to be done to address gender inequality in the automotive industry. It is crucial to continue pushing for greater gender diversity and to challenge gender stereotypes and biases that are still prevalent in the industry. Only then can we truly achieve a more inclusive and equitable society? Keep on scrolling down to read the full story and we will see you at the end of the article.
1. A Karen thinks that females don’t belong in the service department
Employee: Central Chevrolet Service, this is Autumn.
Customer: Autumn, I didn’t ask for a female. I would like to talk to a male. My opinion is females don’t belong in the service department. [They should be] behind the scenes, doing the paperwork.
2. So the staff told the customer that there is no male in their service department
Employee: Um, OK, um, there’s not a male in our service department.
Customer: Then you can let me talk to Mike Ashford or somebody.
Employee: OK, hang on one second, I’ll get you over to Mike Ashford.
3. This depart’s is also ran by a female service director
4. She got nowhere…
5. Karen says that this is messed up
Customer: Autumn, I need to make an appointment for Saturday morning at 8 o’clock. I just hope there are no females on the desk when I get there.
Employee: There are no males in our service department, ma’am, so, unfortunately…
Customer: Oh my God, that is totally messed up. I need my oil changed but there better be a male mechanic that I can talk to.
6. She has always had issues
7. Customer did not want a woman working on her car
Another employee: We don’t have any appointments available on Saturday morning anyway.
Employee: I’m gonna get you [transferred] to a sales manager since there are no males in service, but there’s a male in sales…
Customer: As long as there is a male in the shop to change my oil, that will be fine. I do not wanna a female working on my car and I’ll tell you why, the last time I headed out there to have something done, it was a 5-minute job. I sat there a freaking hour, and I had to go track down a male to get my car because females were incompetent.
8. She refused to reschedule
