The article does not say that she recouped her losses, so I'm not sure if it really is the happy ending you're claiming.
Don't get me wrong, it's nice that the San Jose Sharks made a $500 order, but she's out $6000 and I think the article would have mentioned if she made that and more back.
Tesla seriously fucked this woman over. And not just that, but fucked her black-owned small business over by claiming the order was for Black History Month, which makes it far, far worse. The only one who can make it up to her is Tesla.
"She’s been selling out of pies every day and even getting requests from across the country."
They didn't put a number on it but there is no way that added business won't make up for the 6 grand
And I maintain that even if she makes the money back, she has been wronged beyond monetarily. She has been humiliated as a black woman over a Black History Month-related business offer.
And only Tesla can make that up to her.
