China woman with grudge makes Louis Vuitton staff count Rs 70 lakh cash only to stage a walkout

Chandigarh, August 27

As part of a sweet revenge plot, a woman made the staff at a Louis Vuitton (LV) outlet in China count 600,000 yuan (over Rs 70 lakh) in cash over an unpleasant encounter two months back.

The incident occurred at StarLight Place shopping centre in Chongqing, where the woman had initially visited in June to buy clothes. She alleged that she was dismissively treated by the staff, who ignored her requests and pointed her towards outdated seasonal garments.

The woman, who goes by the handle “xiaomayouren” on social media platform Xiaohongshu, shared her “infuriating” experience at the StarLight Place shopping centre in June, Chinese news outlet Sohu reported.

Despite donning a Hermès bag, she was met with rolling eyes of the staff, who also appeared to be impatient, alleged the woman.

According to South China Morning Post, accompanied by her assistant and friend, the group tried on clothes, claiming they intended to purchase them, and handed over the cash to the sales staff.

After the sales staff spent two hours counting the money, the woman told them: “We don’t want to buy now. We are leaving.”

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?”

Social media users in China have dubbed the episode the “most satisfying revenge of the year”. The revenge plot took the Internet by storm as one of the users wrote: “They sell luxury goods, but it does not mean they are luxury goods themselves.”
