Her composed greeting was interrupted at the sight of an elderly man shuffling in, his weathered coat revealing his financial situation. Suppressing her disgust, she approached him with forced politeness.The elderly man, sporting a pleasant smile, inquired about shoes for his granddaughter. Wendy chuckled awkwardly, suggesting he might find better options elsewhere.The elderly customer remained speechless, shocked by the saleswoman’s contempt. Several other customers had noticed.
Before leaving, Wendy left the elderly man with a stern warning. „Look, I’m going to see my boss, and when I come back, I expect you to be gone,“ she said, gesturing with her finger.
Mr. Anderson smiled from behind his desk, announcing the news about an impending promotion. Erica’s excitement overflowed with congratulations while Wendy added some nice remarks, masking her true ambition.
