A Sales Assistant Told My Wife She Wasn’t ‘Attractive Enough’ to Work in Their Store — I Came Back a Few Days Later to Get the Ultimate Revenge

A store assistant dared to bring MY wife to tears by being mean. She did that all because my spouse sought employment at the establishment she worked at. After hearing my wife’s tale, I took action to redress the situation. What I did ensured that the assistant would think twice when addressing anyone else!

This is an exciting tale about pure and sweet revenge! My name is Thomas, and Emma, my wife, has ALWAYS had an eye for fashion. Her wardrobe is a testament to her impeccable taste. Not that I am biased or showing off, but my Emma knows all there is to know about the latest trends!

I mean, most days, she’s the one who dresses me. No, not because I am sexist and think it’s her job, but because she LOVES doing that. And to be honest, I look FANTASTIC each time, so I’m NOT complaining!

For years, my wife skirted around her true passion. She did all sorts of jobs. Like being a receptionist, and a nurse at one point (sadly short-lived), and even dabbled in art. But she still couldn’t find her place.

Recently, my beloved wife decided to turn her passion for fashion (see what I did there) into a career. She started actively searching for a job in retail. Her thinking was that it would fit perfectly with her interests.

When she got home all emotional one day, she told me the story of what happened. Emma explained that on that fateful day, she was at the shopping center in the afternoon. She then noticed a famous lingerie store with a “Now Hiring” poster on the window.

Excited, she revealed, “I immediately went inside to inquire! But boy, was I in for the shock of my life.” She shared how her excitement started dying down when she approached the sales assistant and tried to speak to her.

The rude woman didn’t even glance my wife’s way until she was DIRECTLY in front of her! A bit down but still quite enthusiastic, Emma asked about the job application process. Instead, the assistant looked her up and down with a sneer and an attitude. Then she delivered the stinging words:

“Look, hun, I don’t think you’re pretty enough for this job. NO CHANCE. Don’t even try, okay?”

Before calming down enough to be able to tell me her story, my lovely wife was in tears when she came home. She was heartbroken by the cruel remark. I’ve never seen my wife so utterly devastated before, and my heart broke seeing her that way.

I wrapped my arms around her, trying to console her. “My love, don’t let her get to you. You’re beautiful and talented. You’re worth so much more than her words,” I said softly. “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 consoling my wife. Seeing her so dejected made me FURIOUS! No one, and I mean NOBODY, should make my Emma feel this way, treat her that badly, and get away with it!

And you know what? As anger took over me, I figured it was high time someone showed that nasty assistant how wrong she was! I decided to give that sales assistant a lesson in humility she would NEVER forget!

Over the next couple of days, I concocted a plan. I reached out to my friend Mike, who works in the fashion industry, to get his help. Mike was more than willing to assist 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 the help of my Emma, and headed back to the lingerie store.

I had done my research enough to make sure the same sales assistant was working on that day. I then started pretending 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, her tone now sweet as we went around the store. “Just a surprise for my wife. I want to get her something really special,” I replied, pretending to be thoughtful.

“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 inquired.

“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. My pal 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!

I Chose an Old Photo Album Instead of $10,000 My Grandpa Left as His Inheritance — Its Secret Changed My Life

When my parents and grandmother died in a car accident, Grandpa stepped in to raise us, binding our shattered family with love and wisdom. Little did I know, years later, his will would present a choice that would test our bonds and reveal a hidden secret, changing everything.

The day my parents and grandmother died in a car accident was the worst day of my life. Jacob, Megan, Luke, Beth, and I were left in the care of Grandpa. He stepped up without hesitation, his quiet strength holding us together.

“I won’t let you kids go through this alone,” he said, hugging us all. “We’re family, and we’ll get through this.”

Grandpa became everything to us. He was our rock, our guide. But it was in the library that he and I truly bonded.

The others were busy with their lives: Jacob with his business schemes, Megan with her career, Luke with his carefree lifestyle, and Beth following Megan like a shadow.

“Grandpa, why do you love these old books so much?” I asked one evening as we restored a tattered volume.

“Books are like people, Lindsey,” he replied, his eyes twinkling. “They carry stories and wisdom. They deserve care and respect.”

We spent hours in that library, losing ourselves in stories and memories. The smell of old paper and ink became a part of me, just like Grandpa’s gentle wisdom.

Years passed, and our family dynamics shifted. Jacob became more materialistic, always talking about investments and profits. Megan climbed the corporate ladder, hardly looking back. Luke drifted through life, and Beth clung to Megan’s coat-tails. But Grandpa and I remained close, our bond growing stronger.

One evening, as we finished a particularly old book, Grandpa sighed. “You’re different from your siblings, Lindsey. You value what’s truly important.”

His words stayed with me, a quiet affirmation of our shared values. While the others pursued wealth and status, I found contentment in simpler things, especially the time with Grandpa.

Then, one fateful night, everything changed. Grandpa’s health declined rapidly, and we knew the end was near. My siblings came over, but their visits were perfunctory, more out of duty than love.

“Just make sure the will is in order,” Jacob muttered to Megan, not realizing I could hear.

I spent those final days by Grandpa’s side, holding his hand, whispering stories, and reading to him from our favorite books. His passing was peaceful, but the void he left felt insurmountable.

At the reading of the will, we were all tense. Grandpa had left each of us a choice: $10,000 or a photo album filled with family memories. My siblings scoffed at the album.

“Lindsey, you’re not seriously considering that, are you?” Jacob sneered. “It’s just sentimental junk.”

But I knew better. I chose the album, feeling a deep connection to Grandpa’s legacy. My siblings chose the money, their eyes gleaming with greed.

“You always were the sentimental one,” Megan said, rolling her eyes.

I ignored their taunts, holding the album close. It felt like a piece of Grandpa, something real and lasting. Little did I know, it held more than memories; it held a secret that would change everything.

“You’re crazy, Lindsey,” Luke said. “Ten grand could set you up for a while.”

“It’s not about the money,” I replied, opening the album. “It’s about what it represents.”

The siblings laughed, shaking their heads. But as I turned the pages, I felt a strange comfort. The photos brought back floods of memories, moments of joy, love, and Grandpa’s wisdom. Then, tucked behind a photo of Grandpa and me in the library, I found a letter and a check for $100,000.

“Oh my word,” I whispered, my hands trembling. The letter, written in Grandpa’s neat script, read:

My Dearest Lindsey,

If you are reading this, it means you chose the photo album, just as I knew you would. This album holds the memories of our precious time together, the moments we shared that were more valuable to me than anything else in this world.

You have always been the light in my life, especially in my final days when you cared for me with such love and devotion. Your kindness and strength have been a source of immense pride for me. I wanted to give you something that would remind you of the bond we shared, something that would carry forward our legacy.

Enclosed with this letter is a check for $100,000. This is my final gift to you, to help you continue your journey and pursue your dreams. Use it wisely, and remember that I will always be with you in spirit, guiding you and cheering you on.

Thank you for being my rock, for understanding the true value of our memories, and for choosing love over material wealth. You are, and always will be, my precious granddaughter.

With all my love,

Grandfather

Tears streamed down my face. He had known. He had always known. I felt a surge of love and gratitude, mixed with a sense of vindication. My siblings, who had mocked me, were oblivious to this final gift of Grandpa’s love.

“What are you crying about?” Beth asked, peering over my shoulder.

I quickly folded the letter and slipped it into my pocket. “Nothing. Just memories.”

As the days passed, I pondered what to do with the money. Grandpa had always taught us the value of giving back. Inspired, I decided to start a foundation in his name, dedicated to helping educate children who had lost their parents, just like we had.

When I told my siblings about my plan, they were shocked.

“Why would you do that?” Jacob asked, incredulous. “You could invest it, make more money.”

“Because it’s what Grandpa would have wanted,” I replied firmly. “It’s about honoring his legacy.”

They didn’t understand, but it didn’t matter. I knew in my heart that this was the right thing to do. As I worked on setting up the foundation, I felt Grandpa’s presence guiding me, his love and wisdom still with me.

Meanwhile, my siblings faced their own struggles. Jacob’s investments went sour, Megan’s career hit a snag, Luke’s carefree lifestyle caught up with him, and Beth, without Megan to follow, felt lost. Their pursuit of material wealth had led them to empty successes.

In a twist of fate, they came to me for help. Their pride had been humbled, and they saw the value in what I was doing. I agreed to help, but with a condition: they had to contribute to the foundation.

“This is about more than just money,” I said. “It’s about family, about giving back. It’s what Grandpa wanted.”

Reluctantly, they agreed. Through working together, they began to see the true value of love, compassion, and family.

The foundation flourished, helping countless children and bringing new meaning to my life. Every time I saw a child’s face light up with hope, I felt Grandpa’s presence.

As the months passed, our family began to heal. We worked together, not just for the foundation but to rebuild our fractured relationships. The siblings who once mocked my choices now respected them, seeing the wisdom in Grandpa’s teachings.

One sunny afternoon, I visited Grandpa’s grave. The cemetery was quiet, the air filled with the scent of blooming flowers. I knelt by his tombstone, tracing the letters of his name.

“Hi, Grandpa,” I whispered. “I hope you’re proud of us. We’re trying our best to live by your values.”

I felt a gentle breeze, almost as if he were responding. I smiled, knowing that his spirit would always be with me, guiding me.

As I stood up, I looked around the cemetery, feeling a sense of peace and fulfillment. The foundation was thriving, my siblings were learning the true value of love and family, and I had found my purpose.

And in that moment, I knew that true wealth wasn’t in money or material possessions, but in the connections we cherish and the values we uphold. Grandpa had taught me that, and it was a lesson I would carry with me forever.
