Back in the day I ran a small (40 employee) vending company, owned by a local Pepsi franchise. When a route driver job opened up I interviewed several candidates and ended up hiring a woman. She was the first female route driver in the company. Several people at the parent company congratulated me on hiring a woman. I was actually offended by that. I hired the best person for the job. Her gender played no role.
I didn’t last long at that job.
