I’ll never forget the day my confident, beautiful wife came home crushed because some store clerk told her she wasn’t attractive enough to work there. Emma had gone to apply for a position at a high-end lingerie shop, excited to finally pursue her fashion passion. Instead, she got humiliated by a snotty sales associate.
When I saw how devastated Emma was, I knew I couldn’t let it slide. Over the next few days, I cooked up a plan with my buddy from the fashion industry. We orchestrated the perfect revenge scenario where the same clerk would get a taste of her own medicine.
Walking into that store pretending to be a clueless husband shopping for my wife was almost fun. Watching that same rude assistant suddenly become sugary sweet when she thought I might spend money was sickening. But the real satisfaction came when my friend “the modeling scout” entered and rejected her outright, then pretended to be fascinated by Emma’s potential.
The clerk’s face turned white when she realized the tables had turned. That moment gave Emma back her confidence – and taught that judgmental woman an important lesson about kindness.
