Hermès in hand, revenge in mind: Woman makes Louis Vuitton staff count ₹70 lakh and then leaves. Here's what happened
The woman had gone to a Louis Vuitton store to shop for clothing and said that the employees had treated her coldly. Later, she took her revenge on them.
Revenge is a dish best served cold, and a Chinese woman has once again proved it. The woman who claimed to be ignored by the staff at a Louis Vuitton store, waited for two months to get back at them.
According to a Sohu news website, the woman, who goes by the handle "xiaomayouren" on the social networking site Xiaohongshu, shared about her "infuriating" experience at the StarLight Place shopping centre in Chongqing, southwest China, in June.
Donning a Hermes bag, the woman had gone to a Louis Vuitton store to shop for clothing and said that the employees had treated her coldly. (Also Read: Louis Vuitton's latest boots trolled on social media: ‘To clean the side walks?’
She asked to see the new arrivals, but they ignored her request, pointing instead to old seasonal clothing. They also ignored her request for water.
When she asked them to show her some outfits that would fit, they even rolled their eyes and appeared irritated. The client said that when she called "the headquarters" of the luxury brand post the incident, she did not get an answer.
So, taking things into her own hands, the woman waited two months to get her revenge when she visited the same store with a bag of cash consisting of 600,000 Yuan (approximately ₹70 lakh).
Before telling the salesperson they would buy the clothes, they tried them on. The woman then paid with a large bag of money that she had given to the shop personnel.
The woman said, "We don't want to buy now," to the sales team after they had spent two hours counting the money. "We're leaving", she added.
"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. According to the South China Morning Post, the woman described this incident as the "most spleen-venting incident of the year".
