In a sweet revenge move, this Chinese woman decided to give the Louis Vuitton staff a taste of their own medicine after enduring poor treatment from them previously. Armed with $84K in cash, she made the staff count every single penny! Imagine their shocked faces as they painstakingly counted and recounted the stacks of the bills.
But she didn’t stop there. Once they finished confirming the amount, she simply canceled the order, flipped her hair, and walked away, leaving them dumbfounded behind her. It was the perfect revenge – a subtle yet powerful way to make a statement and show them just how much their mistreatment had affected her.
She recounted the incident on the Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu. Two months back, the wealthy woman walked into an LV store located at the StarLight Place shopping centre in Chongqing. She was browsing through the items but the staff did not make her feel welcome. They acted in a condescending manner and didn’t pay attention to her queries. She had a Hermes bag on her arm, also an expensive luxury brand.
When she asked the staff about certain items and made requests, they dismissed her in an insulting fashion. She was met with eye rolls and was directed towards outdated seasonal garments. This left her angry and fuming. She reached out to the Louis Vuitton’s headquarters to lodge a complaint. However, no one responded. By this point, she got even more irritated and enraged.
She decided not to drop the matter and waited to make a move. Two months later, she returned to the store. She had a bag of cash containing 600,000 yuan ($84,050 or Rs 68.50 lakh).
Her personal assistant and a friend accompanied her this time. The three of them went around the store browsing through items. They showed interest in buying some things and that is where the cash came into play.
They gave the staff cash which they took over two hours to count. Once the entire drill was over, the woman took back her money, and told the sales assistants, “We don’t want to buy now. We are leaving.”
Her story has gone viral on social media and people are applauding her for taking the step, with some of them calling it the “most satisfying act of vengeance this year.”
One user commented, “This ending is so delightful. I have always wondered why these shop assistants are so arrogant.”
No doubt this incident will be talked about in the Louis Vuitton store for years to come. The lesson is clear: treat people with respect, or they might just teach you a lesson you’ll never forget. Kudos to this fierce lady for standing up for herself and flipping the script!
