Sold Out

The woman walked up to the counter and replied to Sarah’s greeting with an eye roll. She began inquiring about the decoration pieces but Sarah interrupted her and told her they are sold out. The woman’s angry face grew angrier as she said, “Fine! I’ll just go to another store.” And that is when Sarah had the pleasure to inform her, “Actually all the star ornaments in North Alabama have been purchased by one customer.”

Worth Every Penny

The look on that woman’s face was worth every penny Sarah spent on this revenge. She was so angry that she stormed out of the store without another word. The satisfaction Sarah felt was unbelievable. She knew some people might think she went a bit overboard but she couldn’t help but feel victorious!

Petty But Satisfying

The effort that went into this perfectly executed plan might seem petty and unnecessary but the outcome was satisfying nevertheless. It wasn’t about the ornaments, it was about the Christmas spirit. How easy it was for that lady to ruin the happy vibe shared by so many people over the holiday season, only because she wasn’t used to hearing “No” from people.

Distributing The Star

Now that the incident was over, Sarah was still left with $30 worth of Christmas ornaments and she had to figure out what to do with them. She decided to distribute it to her friends and family to spread the Christmas joy. She even decided to keep one for herself and would put it on her tree for the many, many Christmases to follow.

Moving On

Years later, Sarah still remembers this story like it happened yesterday. She no longer works at the Retail store. She decided to follow her passion for photography and became a professional photographer. Her day no longer consists of dealing with angry customers, for which she is eternally grateful. Not that she had forgotten what Retail taught her, it is not an easy job and gave her a lot of experience.

Holiday Season

Whenever the holiday season was around the corner, Sarah, just like every other person, would start her Christmas decorations. To this day, she still has that star ornament and smiles every time she places it on her tree. This year, she thought it was time to spread some holiday cheer.
