A store assistant dared to make my wife cry by being mean. All because my wife, Emma, wanted to apply for a job at the store where the assistant worked. After hearing Emma’s story, I decided to take action. What I did made sure that the assistant would think twice before treating anyone else that way again!
This is a thrilling tale of sweet revenge! My name is Thomas, and my wife Emma has ALWAYS had a knack for fashion. Her wardrobe is proof of her impeccable taste. Trust me, my Emma knows everything about the latest trends!
In fact, she often picks out my outfits. Not because I’m sexist, but because she LOVES doing it, and I always look AMAZING, so no complaints here! For years, Emma worked various jobs, like being a receptionist, a nurse for a short while, and even an artist. But none of these jobs felt right for her. Recently, Emma decided to turn her passion for fashion into a career. She started looking for a job in retail, thinking it would be a perfect fit for her interests.
One day, Emma came home in tears. She told me what had happened. She had been at the shopping center when she saw a famous lingerie store with a “Now Hiring” sign in the window.
Excited, she said, “I immediately went inside to inquire! But boy, was I in for the shock of my life.” Emma’s excitement faded when she approached the sales assistant and tried to ask about the job.
The rude woman didn’t even look at Emma until she was right in front of her. Still enthusiastic, Emma asked about the job application process. The assistant looked her up and down with a sneer and said, “Look, hun, I don’t think you’re pretty enough for this job. NO CHANCE. Don’t even try, okay?”
Emma was heartbroken and came home in tears. I had never seen her so devastated. My heart broke seeing her that way.
I hugged her and said, “My love, don’t let her get to you. You’re beautiful and talented. You’re worth so much more than her words.”
“But why would she say that?” Emma sobbed. “I just wanted to apply for a job. I didn’t deserve that.”
“She’s a small-minded person, my angel,” I tried to console her. Seeing her so upset made me FURIOUS! No one should make my Emma feel that way and get away with it!
I decided it was time someone showed that nasty assistant how wrong she was! I came up with a plan and called my friend Mike, who works in the fashion industry. Mike was eager to help when he heard what had happened.
“That’s unbelievable, man. Of course, I’ll help. Let’s give her a taste of her own medicine,” Mike said over the phone. A few days later, my plan was set in motion. I dressed well, with Emma’s help, and headed to the lingerie store.
I had made sure the same sales assistant was working that day. I pretended to browse the aisles, waiting for the perfect moment. When the store had only a few customers, I approached the assistant with a friendly smile.
“Hello, I’m looking to buy something special for my wife. Could you help me pick out a few things?” I asked. Her attitude changed immediately, seeing a potential big sale. She became attentive and started showing me various items.
“Absolutely, sir! We have a fantastic selection. What’s the occasion?” she asked sweetly.
“Just a surprise for my wife. I want to get her something really special,” I replied.
“Great! How about this piece? It’s one of our most popular items,” she suggested, holding up a delicate lace set.
“Do you think this would look good on her?” I asked, examining the lingerie.
“Oh, definitely! It’s one of our best sellers. Your wife will love it,” she assured me.
“Can you show me a few more options? I want to make sure I get the perfect one,” I said, keeping her engaged. As she showed me more pieces, I made small talk to keep her invested. “So, how long have you been working here?” I asked.
“About six months,” she replied. “It’s a great job if you have the right look for it.” I nodded, pretending to be interested. “That’s interesting. Do they hire often?”
“Only when they really need someone. They’re picky about who they bring on,” she said with a hint of pride.
After about thirty minutes, I told her I needed to step outside to call my wife for her opinion on one of the items. Instead of calling Emma, I called my friend Mike. He arrived quickly to enact his part of the plan.
We walked back into the store together. Mike approached the sales assistant and introduced himself. “Hi there,” Mike began, extending his hand. “I’m Mike Gladstone, a talent scout for a major fashion brand.”
He acted impressed with the store, hinting it was a great place to find fresh talent. “I’ve been looking for someone with a unique look and a great personality. Do you think you might have anyone like that here?”
The assistant’s eyes widened with excitement. “Oh, really? Well, I’ve been told I have a great look for this sort of thing,” she said, clearly thinking this was her big break. Mike gave her a critical once-over and shook his head.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think you quite fit what we’re looking for,” he replied. “We need someone who STANDS OUT in the right way, you understand?” The assistant looked UTTERLY crushed!
Before she could respond, Mike turned to me. “What about you?” he asked, gesturing towards me. “You have an interesting look. Have you ever considered modeling?” The assistant’s jaw dropped! She was completely taken aback!
I smiled and replied, “No, but I do have someone in mind who would be perfect for your campaign.” Without missing a beat, I said, “My wife, Emma. She’s stunning, confident, and absolutely beautiful inside and out.”
Mike nodded enthusiastically. “I’d LOVE to meet her. Let’s set up an interview.” I turned to the assistant, who was now pale and visibly shaken. Looking straight into her eyes to get the message across, I said:
“You know, it’s funny how perceptions can be so misleading. Maybe next time, YOU’LL think twice before judging someone based on their looks.”
As we walked out, I could feel the assistant’s eyes burning into my back. Emma met with Mike later. Although she didn’t pursue modeling, the experience gave her a much-needed confidence boost.
“So, how did it go?” I asked my wife when she came back from her meeting with my friend. “It was AMAZING, actually! Mike was so kind and professional!” she beamed. “He said I had real potential,” she said, her face glowing with happiness.
“I told you, darling! You have everything it takes,” I replied, hugging her tightly. That evening, Emma and I sat down for dinner, reflecting on the events. “I can’t believe you did all that for me,” she said, holding my hand across the table.
“I’d do anything for you, my love. No one gets to make you feel less than you are,” I said firmly.
A week later, we were back at the shopping center. This time, Emma walked with newfound confidence. As we passed by the lingerie store, I couldn’t help but glance inside. The sales assistant was there, looking as if she was still recovering from the shock.
“Want to go in and browse?” I teased Emma. She laughed, shaking her head. “I’ve had enough of that store for a lifetime!” We continued walking, hand in hand, knowing that sometimes, the best revenge isn’t just a clever plan. It’s lifting up the ones you love and helping them see their true worth.
So, that’s my story. Sometimes, the best way to handle things is to make someone realize how wrong they were in the most public and humiliating way possible. And trust me, seeing the look on that sales assistant’s face was something I’ll remember forever!
