The writing prompt is “hellish”.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
A greedy salesperson desired to earn some pocket money on the sly. Only she wasn’t cunning enough to keep it quiet. She rejected customers who had no common traits with her race, culture, and social ties. She distrusted them for fear of betrayal; she was moonlighting and betraying her boss and company. She bites the hand that feeds her.
This offended spurned customers. The rejects had to travel into town to buy the desired product. Such a trip costs around $30, with two way transport. They need to multiply that with 4 as the product runs every weekend. That comes up to $120. If that saleswoman accepted a subscription without bias, the subscriber would only be spending $3 per month for having the product delivered to their doorstep. This is savings of $117. So this saleswoman thinks she’s so special to inflict financial stress on other people?
Recently, one such rejected customer deliberated on the wisdom or folly of reporting said saleswoman to her company. This female customer was angry at the perceived injustice done to her. She pondered long and hard – to intervene and report to the relevant authorities, or lose $117 every month in transport costs traveling to buy that product.
What do you think? Does the customer have any right to feel anger at being scorned?

Customer:”Makcik hebat ke? Berapa anak engkau ada dalam rumah? Apa dia orang bikin walau engkau sudah sibuk buat lain benda?”
