Chinese Woman Called “Poor Ghost” For Not Buying Anything From Shop

A woman in China has complained to the police after a shop owner mocked her for asking prices of different items but not buying anything. The incident took place in Xianmen, a city in southeastern Chinese province Fujian, according to South China Morning Post (SCMP). The woman visited the pearl shop in a local market along with her partner and asked the price of an item of jewellery. However, instead of buying the precious item, she turned around to leave.

The shop owner got angry at the woman and called her a “poor ghost who can’t afford it”, according to the woman’s complaint to the police.

She was shocked at the comment and confronted the shop owner.

Other shopkeepers supported the woman and criticised the behaviour of the jewellery shop owner. He later acknowledged his mistake and apologised.
