It is described as the “most spleen-venting incident of the year”. A Chinese woman, who felt she had been snubbed by staff at a Louis Vuitton (LV) outlet in Chongqing, returned to the store with 600,000 yuan (US$84,000) in cash two months later to get her own back.

In the initial exchange, the woman, carrying a Hermes handbag, said she went to the LV outlet to buy clothes and staff behaved in a stand-offish way towards her. She was met with eye rolls and was directed towards outdated seasonal garments. This left her angry and fuming.

Two months later, she returned with a big bag of cash to the shop assistants on the pretext of paying for the clothes. It took the staff two hours to count the banknotes, but as soon as the entire drill was over, the woman told them she had changed her mind about the purchase and would be leaving instead.
