6. The Sweetest Revenge
I was doing some late night shopping on a Sunday Night in Walmart when this woman comes up to me.
“Excuse me, I need help finding these items.” She shoves a list to my chest.
“I’m sorry, miss. I don’t work here.” I think that was the wrong thing to say as she just explodes on me.
“BS! DON’T BE LAZY! YOU’RE IN THE UNIFORM!”
My shirt was the same color as a Walmart employee’s but I was not an employee.
I decided to just walk away. She yells abuse and tries to chase after me but I keep running until I lose her. Then I go and pay for my things.
Now, a week later, I was told I would be interviewing someone who was applying for the secretary position in our company. So, I go to the interview room and call in the applicant. I look at the picture on the application form and my eyes widened. It was the same woman who had harassed me in the Walmart.
Oh, now this was too perfect.
She came in, saw me, gasped.
“Take a seat, please,” I said and she sits down, looking pale.
Oh, I was going to enjoy this. But I conducted the interview as professionally as possible. I made it very painful for her. My last question was:
“So, if someone came up to you and asked for help in a place you did not work, then you told them you didn’t work there, and then they yell at you and then they harass you and then they come to a job interview and you were the one interviewing them, what would you do? Would you give them a job?”
She did not get the job and I got some payback.
