The yuletide is always filled with a lot of activities. Everybody is always in a celebration mood. When you step into the malls, it is usually a beehive of activities. That was the time of the year Jane went shopping 🛒🛍️.
She had bought all she needed for the Christmas and new year celebration. Her hubby was waiting for her at the car park. She was delighted that all her purchases went through without much hassles.
As the sales representative was packing her purchases, she mistakenly included a toy in the box. One of their clients had changed her mind over the toy and then excluded it from her purchase. Jane never knew of this mistake.
She took the box to the car park and her hubby helped her and kept it in the booth. They zoomed off. At home, while unpacking, Jane discovered the mistake as she knows she never went for toys. Her children have outgrown the use of things like that.
The next day, she had to delay her departure to the countryside for the Christmas. She returned to the shopping mall with the toy. Unfortunately for her she had to queue because the crowd of purchasers had soared. But at the end of the day she was able to return the toy.
