A store assistant made my wife cry during a job inquiry by telling her she wasn’t “pretty enough” for the position. This deeply upset me, so I decided to take action.
My wife, Emma, has always had a passion for fashion and impeccable taste. She’s held various jobs but has always dreamed of working in retail.
Recently, she saw a “Now Hiring” sign at a popular lingerie store and decided to inquire. However, the assistant dismissed her, saying, “I don’t think you’re pretty enough for this job. NO CHANCE. Don’t even try, okay?” Emma came home in tears, heartbroken.
Seeing her so hurt made me furious. I reached out to my friend Mike, who works in the fashion industry, and we devised a plan. I visited the store, pretending to be a customer shopping for lingerie for my wife. The assistant, eager for a sale, gave me her full attention. After some time, I stepped out and called Mike.
Mike arrived, introducing himself as a talent scout. He evaluated the assistant before telling her, “I don’t think you’re quite what we’re looking for.” He then turned to me, suggesting I could be a model, and praised Emma as perfect for a campaign. The assistant was visibly stunned.
Though Emma didn’t pursue modeling, the experience boosted her confidence. A week later, as we walked past the store, Emma held her head high. Sometimes, the best way to get back at someone is by helping the ones you love see their true worth.
