Topic	Outrage after a Woman REFUSED a FEMALE at Chevrolet to FIX her CAR!!!
adjl 12/30/21 8:42:42 AM #29:	Revelation34 posted... Why did they hire that woman in the first place? Presumably because she's a competent mechanic. I think you're misunderstanding: The sexist prick in this case is the customer, not the employee. PK_Spam posted... Changing your oil is like the second or third easiest thing you can learn. What the hell is she gonna do if she breaks down in the middle of the road all by herself with no cell service? If you break down in the middle of the road, an oil change isn't likely to help you. If oil is the problem, by the time you actually break down because of it, changing it won't solve the problem. Tire changes, boosting, and probably a few other skills, certainly, but changing your own oil is very much a convenience/cost saving measure, not an emergency preparedness one. Revelation34 posted... Most people don't carry motor oil around with them. If you've got a car with a history of burning oil (which starts to become an issue around the 150k km mark, for many cars), you probably should. Regular, frequent oil changes can pre-empt that, but it's still not a bad idea to keep a jug in the car and check the oil every time you gas up to make sure you can top it up if needed. --- This is my signature.
