'Most satisfying revenge of year': Woman makes Louis Vuitton staff count Rs 71 lakh cash, then leaves without purchasing
Srinagar, Aug 27: "Revenge is sweet" goes the saying, and this Chinese woman tasted it by settling scores with the world's top luxury brand-Louis Vuitton or LV in a most unexpected, yet delightful way.
She made the staff at the LV store count 600,000 Yuan (over Rs 70 lakh) in cash for two hours, only to walk out without making any purchase, NDTV reported.
The move was a response to the poor treatment the LV staff gave the woman during her earlier visit to the store. She said she had felt dismissed and disrespected by the sales team.
The woman had visited the store located in the Starlight Place shopping centre in Chongqing first in June to shop for clothes, however, she was ignored, and shown impatience.
The shopper, who wrote about her story on the Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu, also claimed staff ignored her when she asked for water. After she left the store, she attempted to file a complaint with the luxury brand's "headquarters" but received no response.
According to South China Morning Post, the woman bore the grudge for two months before cooking up the payback scheme and returning to the outlet with a bag of cash.
She was accompanied by her assistant and a friend, the second time and pretended to purchase clothes while trying them, she handed over the cash to the sales staff who spent two-hours counting the banknotes.
As they finished counting, woman said she had changed her mind and won't be making any purchases.
She wrote on Xiaohongshu, "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?''
The woman's revenge plot took the internet by storm, with many users bowled over by her plan. Social media users in China have dubbed the episode as the "most satisfying revenge of the year".
One user wrote, ''This ending is so delightful. I have always wondered why these shop assistants are so arrogant.'' Another commented, ''They sell luxury goods, but it does not mean they are luxury goods themselves.''
