Is she a CF or AIBU?

[DailyMailFail101]

My brother is a manager of a DIY superstore. My SIL (brothers sister) just rang asking me if my DB still worked as the manager, as she has seen some things she wants and wanted to use his discount, think more along the lines of full bathroom suite rather than a tin of paint. I was so taken aback on the phone I just didn’t know what to say, she reeled her list Off then put the phone down.

There’s no way I can ask my DB to buy these things I’d be far to embarrassed., it’s put me in an awkward position.

I’m not close to SIL at all, she does things like this all the time, if we go out for a meal my husband always pays she has never paid for us. She has been to meals at our house and we have never eaten at her home. I have looked after My nephew for her but she has never looked after my children. Her husband is a plumber we asked him to do a job for us once he charged us full price (and didn’t even fix the problem, had to get sombody else in) no family discount even though my husband has given them free legal advice.

I really can not ask my DB to get these things for her, what can I say to her she is a CF isn’t she? , or AIBU?

My brother and my husbands sister so my SIL, sorry I didn’t make it clearer my brother and my husbands sister so my SIL have only met once at my wedding. I don’t want to give her my brother number because then he may feel obligated and I don’t want to put him in that situation. I’m a total wuss and scared of my SIL.

I don’t think your brother would feel obligated - and he manages a large store, he deals with stuff all the time.
But there’s just no need to involve him, when it’s a very easy text answer that isn’t your fault or you being unhelpful “he’s not allowed”. If she says “oh surely he could pretend” then again it’s easy “no chance - he’s the manager, has to stick to the rules!”
Woman up, OP! Just say no.

Don't feel scared, she relies on that to do her Cf feckery, that would really make my back arch. Just say he is only allowed to discount immediate family or he can get into trouble. Leave it at that.

Make sure you tell him.

Just call your brother and say that SIL is trying to get a reduced bathroom by knowing you and is it allowed/something he can or wants to do? If your db says no as I would expect get your dh to ring his sister with the news.

This is really simple.

"Sorry - only DB is entitled to the store discount. Bye."

I'm a confrontation-avoider extraordinaire, but even I wouldn't find that ^^ scary...?

There is no need to call the brother.

No need to ask him anything. At all.

Leave brother out of it.

Just say no to SIL.

I can't stand spongers who never want to pay their way!!! Tell her she's embarrassing and to fuck off!!

Yep, def PP response regarding discount for immediate family only.
