My wife, Emma, recently decided to explore the idea of working in retail, thinking it would be the perfect fit for her interests. She was excited about the prospect and eager to find a position that suited her.
One afternoon, while at the shopping center, she noticed a famous lingerie store was hiring, as advertised on a poster outside the shop. Thrilled at the opportunity, Emma walked inside and approached the sales assistant to inquire about the job.
However, the assistant barely acknowledged her until Emma was standing right in front of her. With a dismissive sneer, the assistant looked her up and down before delivering a cruel and shocking blow: “Look, I don’t think you’re pretty enough for this job. No chance. Don’t even bother.”
Emma came home heartbroken, devastated by the harsh rejection. Seeing her like that shattered me. But after the sadness passed, I was consumed by anger. How dare someone treat my wife this way? I knew I had to do something—no one, absolutely no one, could get away with humiliating Emma like that.
