Aibu to be annoyed by CF at work

Yesterday at work we decided to use justeat to order some food for lunch, I was the one ordering so everyone gave me money for their orders but one person who said can they do bank transfer, fine no issues sent over bank details, checked 2 hours after lunch no money, sent an email asking if they’d got the details and could they transfer me the money, reply back saying they would do it after work as can’t do it without WiFi ?

Fast forward to today, still no money, sent a message asking for them to transfer as I’m out of pocket £10, they’ve read my message and completely ignored it, aibu to be annoyed by this ? What would people do in this situation ? Hmm

Send a message on SM. Shame the cf...

WhereDoesThisToiletGo · 16/06/2019 14:52

Text back and say they actually now owe you £12 in additional interest and handling fees!

redcarbluecar · 16/06/2019 14:54

Keep asking. She can bring you the cash if a bank transfer is too hard.

tuxedocatsintophats · 16/06/2019 14:54

Keep pushing! I'd approach them at work in front of everyone, 'Oi, you still owe me for your lunch. Everyone else has paid. I need paid for this. It's not on that you think you should get it paid for by me.'

Magmatic80 · 16/06/2019 14:55

Keep chasing, and if not sent in the next 24 hours insist on the cash. Just keep asking ‘oh, have you got that £10 you owe me, I really need it please’. Ask in front of colleagues.

GemmeFatale · 16/06/2019 14:58

Suggest justeat again today.

Volunteer this person to do the ordering.

Make sure your share is over £10

EarlGreyOfTwinings · 16/06/2019 15:07

Keep asking in front of others.

Xyzzzzz · 16/06/2019 15:08

Keep asking I hate people who don’t pay

TanMateix · 16/06/2019 15:18

Leave it for today but mention it in front of everyone on Monday. If she couldn’t pay she shouldn't have ordered.

MolyHolyGuacamole · 16/06/2019 15:34

In addition to what everyone else has said, also never do this again for that person. Cash upfront or nothing.

KatherineJaneway · 16/06/2019 15:41

Walk over and talk to them face to face. Let their colleagues overhear

MintCassis · 16/06/2019 15:45

I'd wait until tomorrow morning and check your account again as it's possible the transfer is taking longer to process for some reason. If not in your account by 9am then ask in person with at least one witness.

Soubriquet · 16/06/2019 15:48

I would make sure you don’t do it again

If they ask to order, refuse with “you never paid me back last time. Fool me once and all that” Hmm

Mommmytobe19 · 16/06/2019 15:51

Wouldn’t bother asking again today wait till Monday and say did you get my message? Silly cow. Hate people who do stuff like this. Most definitely do not need WiFi to transfer the money. We do similar sort of thing at work and I transfer as soon as I know how much I owe!

TanMateix · 16/06/2019 15:55

Actually... just hold fire. If your bank is like mine, transfers will not show in my account over the weekend. She may have already paid. If she paid on Friday afternoon, it might not shown until Monday.

3luckystars · 16/06/2019 15:56

Leave it for now.

TheInebriati · 16/06/2019 15:56

If it doesn't appear in your account on Monday, go to HR.

BornInAThunderstorm · 16/06/2019 15:59

When you are next at work I would suggest waiting until you are all together again and state that you wont be able to order JustEat for the team again as X still hasn’t paid you back and you don’t want to risk being at a loss again

TrashPanda · 16/06/2019 15:59

If it hasn't been transferred by tomorrow definitely speak to them first thing at work and ask for the cash.

spinderella78 · 16/06/2019 16:01

I think you should give her the benefit of the doubt, it's possible it won't show up over the weekend.

It's £10 and you are harassing her. I get that's not the point and if you need the money it's fair enough but really, just wait till Monday.

AllStar14 · 16/06/2019 16:05

Harassing her Hmm ffs. She should have paid up at the time, everyone else managed to!

Ghostlyfeet · 16/06/2019 16:10

I don't think it would show up over the weekend. I don't get transfers on some of my accounts over weekends. I think shaming her as suggested may backfire totally if that's the case

Davespecifico · 16/06/2019 16:12

Wait till Monday. If still no money, harangue her with no mercy.

NurseButtercup · 16/06/2019 16:21

Fast forward to today, still no money, sent a message asking for them to transfer as I’m out of pocket £10, they’ve read my message and completely ignored it

How is op harrassing this person if she's owed £££ and the person isn't replying??

BogglesGoggles · 16/06/2019 16:23

Not all transfers are instantaneous.
