As yet, still waiting for B to pay the remaining £11.

[Lonelymum11]

So, she's paid last month's but is still sticking with her cf insistence of not paying this month's until the end of the month?

[dray9925]

This thread is hilarious sorry OP
She should absolutely pay you the full amount tomorrow, the manipulative cow 🤬

[Igetknockeddownbutgetupagain]

I want to know what happens too

[ForeverFaff]

The monies are lacking enough monies to be considered as having the monies paid in full, am I right??

[timshelthechoice]

I agree with Whatcha. Do not tell her 'thanks' for paying you back your own fucking money 2 weeks late after you had to chase her down. Fucking bitch. And no more ordering her FA. She's telling you that you will do things her way. Nope.

[eddielizzard]

She can moan and stamp as much as she wants: rules is rules. Pay before lunch or no lunch.

She's the most entitled PITA I've come across.

[HolyMilkBoobiesBatman]

She’s definitely playing a game now.
I expect she’s waiting for you to tell her she can’t be part of lunch club until the £11 is paid purely so she can then go to HR and claim bullying.
“@Amelia2000 is excluding me from the team lunch even though we agreed long ago that I pay her back monthly.”

She’s trying to make you look like the bad one for going back on an ‘agreement’ because she is now up to date for last month and you only have your word against hers that you didn’t agree a monthly payment.

[MzHz]

Outrageous sense of entitlement

As for MadamChongafly, what a bore...

[QueenBeex]

She'll definitely try to order lunch Friday without paying the £11 debt. She'll tell you she will pay it all next month then run off crying to chong her dong no doubt.

[MzHz]

I agree- text her now and say that she’s only sent £24 and the £11 needs to be paid today.

I’d also tell her and everyone else that she’s not entitled to place food orders again Without the cash up front.

[timshelthechoice]

I so want to chong a dong!

[ThumbWitchesAbroad]

I'm moving now to being tempted towards faux sympathy along the lines of "Aww hun, if you can't afford to pay it every week, perhaps you'd be better bringing in your own food?"

SHAME the cowbag into actually paying upfront!

And yes, stand firm on refusing to allow her any credit as she's proved she is a "bad debt".

[UrsulaPandress]

I’d quite like to know more about her dressage. Does she compete and at what level?

[billybagpuss]

Tuning in for the next instalment of Chong a dong:

Will B turn up to work tomorrow?
Will B pay the £11?
Will the lunch club continue it’s meetings next Friday or will HR close it down.

Right here with you on CF watch

[whiteroseredrose]

Feeling left out because I don't know how to chong 😭. Let alone do it to a dong ....

[ForeverFaff]

Offer to find the nearest food-bank if she is struggling. Although, it might give her ideas

[rosesandcashmere]

Also interested to find out more about the horse dancing. I want to know what sort of food she orders too, so we get a complete picture. Does she have children? Maybe twins are causing money problems

[Blatherskite]

As I said on the old thread paying just £24 is a massive fuck you. She's telling you exactly how little she respects you

[shearwater]

Also dob her in for not leaving notes/inform bosses of the shit it left the team in. Don't cover for her.

[SellmeyourMLMcrap]

She's paid up to the end of last month OP, so has paid what you've paid for.
She will absolutely not agree to pay the other £11 until you are due to pay the credit card, I think that much is clear from what she's said previously.

I'd probably let HR know how you've got on and continue taking lunch orders from everyone who has fully paid for everything that they've eaten.

I know you say that your colleague should have the funds but there are lots of reasons why she might not have them immediately available including financial abuse from a partner. She should still deal with it better but it can be humiliating to admit to some things.

If it was me I wouldn't order her any more but I would encourage people to be kind to her, if nothing else this would be a good look for you.

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Utterly gobsmacked at sheer cheek!

[mummmy2017]

Just thank her for money.
Then tell her going forward it's cash for food system.
No pennies no panini.

[DuckDuckMoose]

Loving your threads OP.

But please can someone tell me what that phrase means? Is it youth speak? Regional?

[DamonSalvatoresDinner]

"Sorry I'm no longer offering a credit line on lunches. Please pay for your food at the same time as the rest of the office". (Using your CC is you paying at the time. You're just borrowing the money to do so.)

[Catmaiden]

Chong a dong I'm not googling it, no, I'm not
