She Told My Wife “You’re Not Pretty Enough to Work Here.” I Made Her Regret It in Front of Everyone.
My wife Emma, who has always loved fashion, recently tried applying at a high-end lingerie store. She spotted a “Now Hiring” sign and walked in, hopeful. But instead of a chance, she got humiliated.
“The assistant barely looked at me,” Emma cried when she came home. “She just sneered and said, ‘You’re not pretty enough for this job. Don’t even try.’”
I was stunned—and furious.
Emma is beautiful. Kind. Elegant. How dare someone reduce her worth to looks?
So I called Mike, a close friend who works as a fashion talent scout.
“That’s disgusting,” he said. “Let’s make it right.”
A few days later, I walked into the store, acting like a regular shopper. The same assistant approached, suddenly all smiles. Right on cue, Mike entered, dressed sharp, clipboard in hand.
He scanned the store and said loudly, “I’m here scouting for new talent.” The assistant lit up, posing subtly.
But Mike turned to Emma—who I’d brought with me—and said, “You. You have the look. Ever thought about modeling?”
The assistant’s jaw dropped.
I just smiled.
