A Sales Assistant Told My Wife She Wasn’t ‘Pretty Enough’ to Work in Their Store — I Returned a Few Days Later for the Perfect Revenge
A store assistant had the audacity to reduce my wife to tears with her cruelty simply because my spouse applied for a job at the same establishment where she worked. After hearing my wife’s distressing experience, I took decisive action to rectify the situation, ensuring that the assistant would reconsider her behavior towards others in the future.
This is a thrilling account of just revenge! I’m Thomas, and let me tell you about Emma, my wife, who has always had a keen eye for fashion. Her wardrobe is a testament to her impeccable taste. Call me biased, but Emma truly knows everything about the latest trends!
I mean, most days, she’s the one who styles me. Not because I think it’s her responsibility, but because she genuinely enjoys it. And honestly, I always feel fantastic afterward, so I’m not complaining!
For years, my wife explored various career paths. She worked as a receptionist, tried nursing for a while (though it didn’t last long), and even pursued art. But despite her efforts, she couldn’t quite find her niche.
Recently, Emma decided to pursue her true passion for fashion (pun intended) as a career. She actively began searching for job opportunities in retail, believing it would align perfectly with her interests.
One day, she returned home emotionally shaken, recounting a disheartening experience. Emma had spotted a “Now Hiring” sign at a well-known lingerie store in the shopping center and eagerly entered to inquire about the job.
However, her excitement quickly turned to dismay when the sales assistant ignored her until she was directly in front of her. Despite Emma’s polite inquiry about the application process, the assistant responded with a disdainful look and cruel words:
“Sorry, sweetie, but you’re just not the right fit for this job. No chance. Save yourself the trouble.”
Emma returned home in tears, shattered by the assistant’s hurtful remark. It pained me to see her so distraught. I held her close, reassuring her of her beauty and talent, and reminding her that she deserved far better treatment than she received. “Why would she say that?” Emma sobbed. “I only wanted to apply for a job. I didn’t deserve that.”
“She’s a narrow-minded person, my love,” I tried comforting my wife. Seeing her so disheartened ignited a fire within me! No one, and I mean NOBODY, should ever make Emma feel this way, treat her with such disrespect, and get away with it!
And you know what? As fury coursed through my veins, I realized it was high time someone showed that rude assistant just how wrong she was! I resolved to teach her a lesson in humility she’d never forget!
Over the next few days, I formulated a plan. I reached out to my friend Mike, who works in the fashion industry, for assistance. When I explained the situation, Mike was more than willing to lend a hand.
“That’s outrageous, mate. Count me in. Let’s give her a taste of her own medicine,” Mike exclaimed over the phone. A few days later, my plan was set in motion. With Emma’s styling assistance, I dressed sharply and returned to the lingerie store.
After ensuring the same sales assistant was working that day, I began browsing the aisles, waiting for the opportune moment. When the store was relatively quiet, I approached the assistant with a friendly smile.
“Hello there, I’m looking for something special for my wife. Could you help me pick out a few items?” I inquired. Her demeanor shifted immediately, sensing a potential sale. She became attentive and began showing me various pieces.
“Of course, sir! We have a fantastic selection. What’s the occasion?” she asked, her tone now accommodating as we perused the store. “Just a surprise for my wife. I want to get her something truly special,” I replied, feigning thoughtfulness.
“Excellent! How about this piece? It’s one of our best sellers,” she suggested, presenting a delicate lace set. “Do you think this would suit her?” I inquired, examining the lingerie. “Absolutely! Your wife will adore it,” she assured me.
“Could you show me a few more options? I want to ensure I make the perfect choice,” I requested, keeping her engaged. As she presented additional items, I engaged her in small talk. “How long have you been working here?” I queried.
“About six months,” she replied. “It’s a rewarding job if you have the right look for it.” I nodded, feigning interest. “Fascinating. Are they often hiring?” I inquired.
“Only when absolutely necessary. They’re selective about who they bring on board,” she replied with a hint of pride.
After about thirty minutes, I excused myself to step outside and purportedly call my wife for her opinion. Instead, I called Mike. He arrived promptly to play his part in the plan.
We re-entered the store together. Mike approached the assistant and introduced himself. “Hi there,” Mike began, extending his hand. “I’m Mike Gladstone, a talent scout for a major fashion brand.”
He expressed admiration for the store, implying it was a great place to discover new talent. “I’ve been on the lookout for individuals with a unique look and vibrant personality. Do you think you might have anyone fitting that description here?”
The assistant’s eyes widened with excitement. “Really? Well, I’ve been told I have the perfect look for this sort of thing,” she exclaimed, thinking this was her big break. Mike scrutinized her critically and shook his head.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t believe you quite match what we’re searching for,” he responded. “We need someone who truly stands out, you understand?” The assistant looked utterly crestfallen!
Before she could respond, Mike turned to me. “What about you?” he asked, indicating towards me. “You have an intriguing look. Have you ever considered modeling?” The assistant was dumbfounded! She was completely caught off guard!
I smiled and replied, “No, but I do know someone who would be perfect for your campaign.” Without skipping a beat, I continued, “My wife, Emma. She’s stunning, confident, and possesses inner and outer beauty.”
Mike nodded enthusiastically. “I’d love to meet her. Let’s arrange an interview.” I turned to the assistant, who appeared pale and visibly shaken. Locking eyes with her to convey my message, I said:
“It’s funny how perceptions can be deceiving. Perhaps next time, YOU’LL think twice before passing judgment based on appearances.”
As we exited the store, I could feel the assistant’s gaze burning into my back. Later, Emma met with Mike. Although she ultimately chose not to pursue modeling, the experience provided her with a much-needed boost in confidence.
“How did it go?” I inquired eagerly when Emma returned from her meeting with Mike. “It was INCREDIBLE! Mike was so supportive and professional!” she exclaimed. “He mentioned I have real potential,” she added, her face radiant with joy.
“I told you, my dear! You’ve got everything it takes,” I reassured her, holding her close. That evening, over dinner, Emma and I reflected on the events. “I can’t believe you went through all that for me,” she said, squeezing my hand across the table.
“I’d move mountains for you, my love. No one has the right to diminish your worth,” I affirmed.
A week later, we returned to the shopping center. This time, Emma walked with newfound confidence. As we strolled past the lingerie store, I couldn’t resist peeking inside. The sales assistant was there, looking like she was still reeling from the encounter.
“Feel like going in for a browse?” I teased Emma. She chuckled, shaking her head. “I’ve had my fill of that store for a lifetime!” We continued our stroll, hand in hand, recognizing that sometimes, the most potent revenge isn’t a cunning scheme but uplifting those you cherish and helping them recognize their true value.
So, that’s my tale. Occasionally, the most effective response is making someone confront their errors in the most public and humbling manner possible. And let me tell you, witnessing the expression on that sales assistant’s face was something I’ll cherish forever!
