[QUOTE="rod, post: 1256282, member: 5382"] I would like to see a truly honest test where a UPS guy and a UPS gal are sent into a business with a heaping arm load of packages and see what the ratio of women getting the door held for them and other help with the packages would be. From my own observations and from actual stories from customers and female UPS employees I would bet a paycheck (if I got one) that the gals were helped way more. I realize this is not "special treatment" by the company but it would show proof that women ARE treated different. I once had a female[B] [/B]center manager[B] [/B]who when riding with me would have doors held for her even though she wasn't carrying anything while I would have to open the same door with one finger and my foot while carrying an arm load. (NO- I didn't want her to help and always warned her about her feeble attempts to speed things up). I've even had customers tell me how rude it was that I didn't hold the door for her. P.S. I always open the doors for the ladies and even found it awkward NOT to for my female center manager. That's just the way I was raised. [/QUOTE]
