As a single woman, I have to do everything by myself. Shopping for appliances, cars, visit home reno showrooms, etc. What I found is that salespeople almost literally avoid me (even saw one guy come around the corner of fridges and literally turn on his heel away from me!)
Car shopping alone as a woman was probably the most frustrating experience. I once had to go into the showroom of a Nissan dealership where all these guys were gathered around yakking. I had to say "what do I have to do to get some help around here?" they gave me some new guy who knew absolutey nothing, including the fuel efficiency of a Versa - hardly a rare car.
I'm also having a very difficult time right now with a major mattress chain (Sleep Country, for those who live in cities that have them). I bought a "floor model" mattress which later turned out to be used, they never told me and the salesman outright said I'm bonkers for even thinking that. They eventually admitted it but they still won't take it back! their stipulation is they want me to get the mattress professionally cleaned; something I'm not about to as that would acknowledge that I made the stains (truly, this is *ick*). They're just stalling and making things difficult for me so I'll just go away. What they don't realize is I'm just getting warmed up with the war they don't see coming.
