A woman from the UK has a perfect comeback to the two drugstore employees that had cruel things to say about her appearance.
A young woman who overheard staff in her local Superdrug store sniggering at her appearance has thanked social media users for their support.
Harriet Rae, from Perranporth in Cornwall, shared a photo of the ‘cheesy grin’ she flashed at the girls while modelling the shorts and penned an open letter to go alongside it, in which she appealed for people to spread kindness.
Last night she shared an update saying she had spoken to the ‘lovely people’ at the Superdrug Head Office, who had apologised for the actions of staff in the Truro store on Saturday.
She wrote:
“To the two girls working in Truro Superdrug this afternoon.
Don’t worry, I heard the comments you made to each other about my appearance and my shorts. You spoke loud enough for most people to hear. Its obviously not the first time you’ve had a giggle and a made comments about another girl but when you do it normally, the person you talk about probably looks away and you actually make them feel really sad inside. But today, by the looks on your faces you really weren’t prepared for the massive cheesy smile I gave you!
Just so you know, your words didn’t hurt me. The looks you gave me did not either.
I do feel slightly saddened that you think it’s ok to speak about another female, or in fact anyone, in that way.
I don’t believe you gained anything from it apart from looking a little bit silly when you realised I heard you.
If somehow you end up reading this, as Cornwall is a very small place, can you be a little bit kinder with your words? Some peoples skin isn’t as thick as mine has become and the next persons might be very thin indeed.
So in response to your comments, I send back some love!
If you did your own hair and make up for work today, you are both very talented. I could never get my winged liner or my ponytail that perfect! #makelovenotwar #girlpower”
Harriet said she spoke to the people at the store’s head office, who apologized for what happened. She reinforced that the intended message of the post was to spread kindness and positivity not embarrassment or hurt.
They told her that her post will be used in training in the future.
