Male chauvinism seems to be the norm

Absolutlely unacceptable attitude from one of lthe sales person, introduced as Hendik. My wife and I were looking for a new vehicle for her use. Specifically, he very blatantly and completely ignored my wife, he wouldn't acknowledge any of her questions and wouldv only addressed me. This was done in front of two other male Bidvest McCarthy staff members who didn't show any reaction to his behaviour, so I can only assume that this behaviour is endemic to this dealership. Once one of the female sales persons offered my wife a seat in an adjoining meeting room and she was out of earshot, Hendrik's demeanour immediately changed. I dont understand why this type of antiquated attitude
