My beloved wife, Emma, decided to start looking for a job in retail, thinking it would be the perfect fit for her interests. One day, while at the shopping center, she saw that a famous lingerie shop was hiring, as advertised on a poster outside the store.
Emma excitedly went into the store and tried to speak to the sales assistant. However, the assistant ignored her until she was practically right in her face. Emma asked how she could apply for the job, and the sales assistant looked her up and down with a sneer before delivering the blow: “Look, I don’t think you’re pretty enough for this job. NO CHANCE. Don’t even try.”
Emma came home in tears, absolutely devastated. My heart broke seeing her like that. But then, anger took over. Nobody, and I mean nobody, can treat my wife like that and get away with it. I decided I was going to teach that sales assistant a lesson she would never forget.
My wife, Emma, has always had a unique style and incredible confidence that made her stand out. But one day, after a clerk at a lingerie store cruelly told her she wasn’t attractive enough for a job, Emma’s self-esteem took a hit.
She was upset when she got home, and I was furious. I couldn’t believe someone could be so mean.
To get back at the clerk, I called my friend Mike, a talent scout, and we came up with a plan. The next day, we returned to the store. Mike pretended to shop while chatting with the clerk about modeling. He then told her, “Sorry, you’re not what we need,” and turned to Emma, telling her she’d be perfect for a modeling campaign.
Emma smiled, and the sales assistant was left embarrassed, getting a taste of her own harshness.
While Emma felt a bit bad for her, I wanted her to remember that her confidence and worth should come from within, not from others’ opinions.
