I don't believe in karma. I don't believe in luck, either. But I do believe in vindication as defined here:
vin·di·cate (vnd-kt)
tr.v. vin·di·cat·ed, vin·di·cat·ing, vin·di·cates
1. To clear of accusation, blame, suspicion, or doubt with supporting arguments or proof.
You seemed to have performed every action that defines the action of
to vindicate, but only for yourself. Vindication is very subjective depending on the person who feels it.
There could be infinite reasons for the closure of the two stores you mentioned. And infinite (human) effects far beyond the stores themselves as a result of their closure.
I think you experienced vindication when you initially decided to not return to the yogurt shop or the mechanic.
Now, unfortunately, what you seem to be experiencing is something close to schadenfreude.
