    I had a woman at a car service counter take in my car once. She was dressed nicely and clean so of course I assumed she only did paperwork.

    I treated her like a human. Explained my car symptoms and where I think the problem is. (Car electric went nuts and lost power steering when i hit a puddle.)

    Holy crap she knew her stuff. I mentioned it felt like the alternator wasnt performing right and undervolting, but since it’s only when driving threw a puddle it had to be a component siezing and pulling on the accessory belt. She agreed that’s a good place to start and ran through all the bits in that system as well as thier diagnostic steps planned.

    I figured she knew about cars but it felt like she was a full on mechanic and was the manager dressed up.

      Treating people with basic humanity should be the bare minimum, but sadly it’s a foregone conclusion.
