Betty was browsing for a wedding dress at a high-end boutique. After being rudely dismissed by an employee due to her appearance, Betty turned the situation around, using kindness to deliver a powerful lesson in karma.
Mike, an employee at the luxury bridal shop, prided himself on his materialism, which often led him to be judgmental.
One day, Betty, an elderly woman, entered the shop. It was a quieter day than usual, with only Mike and his colleague Cassey working. Betty’s style was far from fashionable, wearing outdated clothes and sporting an unkempt hairstyle, which caught Mike’s critical eye.
Betty, who valued inner beauty over material possessions, never cared much about her looks. She didn’t often shop at such high-end places, but she was planning to get married the following summer and wanted something special.
As she entered, Mike sneered and texted on his phone. „Someone’s lost on their way to bingo night,” he muttered to Cassey, judging Betty’s appearance.
Despite Cassey urging Mike to assist Betty, he ignored her and kept texting. When Betty kindly asked for help, Mike dismissively told her she couldn’t afford anything in the store and suggested she try a thrift shop instead.
Undeterred, Betty kept her composure and replied, „If you can’t respect me as a customer, at least respect me as your elder.”
Shortly after, a younger, more fashionable customer walked in, and Mike’s attitude instantly shifted. He greeted the new customer with enthusiasm, completely ignoring Betty.
Cassey, noticing Betty’s discomfort, stepped in and offered her assistance. Betty was grateful, and together they picked out a wedding dress. Betty ended up choosing one of the most expensive gowns in the store.
Meanwhile, the other customer, after trying on multiple dresses just for social media photos, left without buying anything, leaving Mike frustrated.
As Betty paid for her gown, Mike was stunned to see her pull out a bag full of cash, tipping Cassey $5,000. Confused and embarrassed, Mike tried to apologize, but Betty calmly reminded him of the dangers of making assumptions.
Later, Cassey explained to Mike that Betty was marrying a millionaire she had met while working as a nurse. Mike was left reflecting on his judgmental attitude, while Cassey celebrated Betty’s grand wedding that summer.
