My wife Emma came home in tears that afternoon, and it broke my heart. She’d gone to apply for a job at an upscale lingerie boutique, only to be told by a snooty sales associate, “You’re not pretty enough to work here.” I held her as she sobbed, feeling my blood boil with every shuddering breath she took.
Emma has always had an incredible eye for fashion – she’s the reason I look presentable most days! When she decided to pursue her passion professionally, I was thrilled for her. But one cruel comment from a judgmental stranger nearly crushed her spirit.
That’s when I decided to teach that salesgirl a lesson she’d never forget. With help from my friend who works in modeling, we set up the perfect sting. I went back to the store days later, pretending to be a wealthy shopper. The same assistant who’d insulted Emma suddenly became all smiles when she thought I might make a big purchase.
Then came the beautiful moment when my friend entered, pretending to be a fashion scout. He rejected the assistant outright, then turned to me saying, “You know who would be perfect? Your wife.” The look on that woman’s face when she realized who I was talking about? Priceless.
