Revenge is best achieved calmly, and a Chinese woman has proven that yet again after she claims to have been ignored by Louis Vuitton store staff and waited two months to exact revenge on them.
According to news site Sohu, the woman, who goes by the handle “xiaomayouren” on social networking site Xiaohongshu, described an “infuriating” experience she had at Starlight Place shopping centre in the southwestern Chinese city of Chongqing in June.
The woman, wearing an Hermes bag on her head, said she went to a Louis Vuitton store to buy clothes and was given a cold shoulder by salespeople. (Related article: Louis Vuitton’s latest boots criticized on social media: ‘To clean sidewalks?’)
She asked to see the newly arrived clothes, but they ignored her request and pointed instead to the old season’s clothes. They also ignored her request for water.
When she asked to see some clothes that would fit her, they rolled their eyes and seemed annoyed. She said she called the luxury brand’s “head office” after the incident but received no response.
So the woman decided to take matters into her own hands, returning to the same store two months later with 600,000 yuan (about 1 million yen) in cash in a bag to get revenge. ₹700,000 rupees.
They tried the clothes on before telling the salesperson they were buying them, and the woman paid with money from a large bag she handed to the salesperson.
“I don’t want to buy it now,” the woman said after the salespeople spent two hours counting her money. “I’m going home now,” she added.
“When they finished counting the money, I just took it and walked out. How could I buy their products to improve their work performance?” she wrote in Xiaohongshu. According to the South China Morning Post, the woman described the incident as “the most infuriating thing that has happened to me this year.”
