It’s their business and they can do what they wish but....

They already had to close down and get the place cleaned. I’m sure they lost bu$ine$$ because of her. Now she wants her deposit back on the dresses. There is usually a grace period for getting back deposits which she’s now long past. Those dresses should already be ordered and on the dressmaker’s table for alterations. Vinson now wants the shop to eat the bill on the dresses? No way. This is good publicity for the store and bad for Nurse Vinson who hasn’t garnered much sympathy out in cyberspace.
