Facebook Karen thinks she's getting revenge ends up paying double. I run a repair shop where

I employ a bunch of local kids ages 16 plus. To learn skills and make some money while we

generally sit around and talk about the world while we fix things. We had a client come in with

the busted electronic. We fixed it up for her and gave her a decent discount on the work. Her

final bill for the parts and four hours of labor was a hundred dollars even, discounted down from
