Chicago independent bookstore owner slams customer who bought $800 of art and cookery books to decorate their home for CHRISTMAS - only to return them after holidays ended

An independent Chicago bookseller vented their frustration after a custppomer returned a purchase of art and cookbooks worth $800

The buyer had bought the books in December to use them as temporary decorations for the holidays and then returned them once they were over

Rebecca George's tweet has been viewed millions of times with many people responded by offering support and suggesting ways to prevent it in the future

'Turns out one of our biggest sales last month was for the person to stage their home for the holidays, and now they want to return them all. Please don't do this to a small business, people.' George tweeted.

The tweet has since gone viral with almost 7 million views.

George also noted how the sale amounted to almost one third of her store's monthly rent.

'Wow, this person came in and bought up all these art books! What a great day,' George said she thought at the time of the bumper sale. 'We needed it right then.'
