i hate this shit. when its my wife's decision to get/do something, she always starts the conversation but the person regularly turns and talks to me.
i dont know what the fuck my wife wants, im here as arm candy. you deal with her.
i had to tell the same salesman this 4 times in the same 2 minute conversation when we went to pep boys.
just pull out your phone and play a videogame when they start ignoring your wife. Give them the same treatment as they give your wife and never make eye contact. Then just go “bruh my wife is talking to you, I don’t know shit” while you stare at your screen.
There's a test my job does where during a interview, if the candidate doesn't address the woman at the table or answer her questions, they don't get hired.
That experience really gave insights to those subtle red flags.
Wife and I do that now to every single service we meet. We both walk up to the counter, I don't say a god damn thing and my wife starts speaking. And if they start responding only to me, we leave.
Your first mistake was going to Pep Boys. Maybe just me (I have a longstanding vendetta against them), but they are the worst of the auto parts chains.
Napa or O'Reilly's. AutoZone and AAP only exist for me if I can abuse their online coupons. Pep boys may as well not exist.
