Have you ever entered a luxury store and found yourself getting ignored by the staff? A woman in China took her response to experiencing this to the next level.
According to the South China Morning Post, mainland China’s social media has taken delight after a wealthy woman in China made the staff of a luxury brand store count her cash for two hours before leaving.
The woman, who felt she had been snubbed by staff at a Louis Vuitton (LV) outlet, returned to the store with 600,000 yuan (RM367,000) in cash two months later to get her revenge.
The woman, who uses the alias xiaomayouren on the social media platform Xiaohongshu, shared her “infuriating” experience at the StarLight Place shopping centre in Chongqing, southwestern China, in June.
For illustration purpose only
In the initial exchange, the woman, carrying a Hermes handbag, said she went to the LV outlet to buy clothes and staff behaved in a stand-offish way towards her.
They ignored her request for drinking water and merely pointed to old seasonal garments while she hoped to see the new arrivals. They had apparently even rolled their eyes and looked impatient when she asked them to show her some dresses to fit.
After leaving the shop, the woman had called “the headquarters” of the luxury brand but was ignored. After holding a grudge for two months, the woman then took a big bag containing 600,000 yuan to the same store.
They tried on some clothes before telling the salesperson they would buy them. The woman then presented the shop assistants with a big bag of banknotes to pay.
After the sales staff spent two hours counting the money, the woman told them, “We don’t want to buy now. We are leaving.”
“After they finished counting it, I just took away my money and left. How is it possible for me to buy their products to improve their work performance?” she wrote on Xiaohongshu.
The woman’s story went viral online, attracting widespread praise from internet users.
