AIBU to boycott this business?

I've been buying clothes from a local business as I like to try support local and she has unusual items. They've peed me off a bit though.

She does "Facebook lives" where she sells the clothes. A few weeks ago she had a lovely hoodie at £22, but someone commented before me and got it.

I messaged her and asked if she'd get any more in, and if she did please let me know. She said of course.

She then does a live randomly in the middle of the day today - she has the hoodie I Wanted on sale for £12.

I messaged and said please could I have it - she said sorry it's gone from someone on the live. I said I'm gutted as I asked her to let me know.

She then only has collection 5-7pm 2 nights a week. I have a young baby so got there for 5pm. Her mother answered and said "good job I was in!" I said sorry? She said her daughter had put on Facebook collection was only from 6pm that night. I said sorry as I'd been driving as I live 30 mins away and hadn't looked at Facebook.

I wanted something that she said was £10 on the live - she then said it was £12. I was certain she said £10 but for the sake on £2 I paid it.

Is it me being a bad customer or AIBU to boycott them from now on?

Nah. I couldn’t be bothered with that. If someone wants me to use their business, I’d expect a decent level of service and not all that faff.

I get she can run her business on her own terms but acting like she’s doing you a favour or having the attitude of the mother would put me right off.

There is no need to message her. Just move on with your life.
