AITJ for reporting a vendor at our shop and getting her fired?

I work at a small retail shop. We have a vendor who stocks and manages her own products in our store. She's been here for years before I started.

Over the past few months, I've noticed that she consistently leaves her boxes and trash in our back room. Not just a little, but piles of cardboard, plastic wrap, and empty boxes that sit there for days. I've asked her politely to clean up after herself. She always says sorry, I'll get it and then doesn't.

Last week, I came in and found that she had used our employee break table as her personal packing station. There was packing tape residue, cardboard scraps, and coffee stains all over the table where I eat my lunch.

I was fed up. I took photos and sent them to our store manager. I explained that this has been happening for months and I've asked her to stop multiple times.

The manager had a talk with her. Yesterday, I found out she was fired. Now I feel terrible. She was older, had been working here for years, and I don't know her situation. A few coworkers are saying I should have just kept my mouth shut and let it go.

But I was tired of cleaning up after someone who refused to take responsibility.
