"most people will automatically assume an attractive woman has poor skills in X (where X is anything that doesn't involve dealing with customers). "
Could you provide a source on that please? Because from the wording of your statement it seems that what you are claiming is completely anecdotal. I remember studying in one of my psychology courses that attractive people are instantly assumed to be smarter and more successful than unattractive people. It even has a name although I can't think of it right now. If I could I would provide a source.
