Colleague went on a takeaway run for the staff team's lunch today. 7 of us and I gave the person doing the driving my card to pay. This has worked loads in the past for other things and they just transfer the money over. It's easier than having to do so many separate orders.
The colleague who went ordered and paid but then when she got back realised that her order was missing. She had been given the bag and not checked before driving away. It's about a 10 minute drive away so I suggested calling and explaining then going back but she couldn't be bothered.
I shared some of mine with her and so did another person. Then one person got the receipt and said they'd transfer x amount to me. Colleague said "Ah well I won't send you anything seeing as how I didn't get my order."
Another person straight away said it was her fault for not checking the order so she'd still need to pay and I said that was right and she owed me x amount. She thinks that I was unreasonable to expect her to pay when she didn't get what she paid for but I said that wasn't my fault and she had the opportunity to rectify it by going back with the receipt.
She then suggested that as she was the one who drove there everyone should cover the cost of her meal if we were so bothered. I said that she was being ridiculous and there was still plenty of time for her to get in touch with the restaurant and let them know the problem so she was choosing to waste her money, but she still had to pay and she owed me x amount, she has my bank details and I expect to be paid by this evening as usual.
It's under £15 so not as if it's a huge bill but I thought she was being a massive CF and that I shouldn't let this go. I'm planning to message tomorrow to remind her if it hasn't been paid. I've had a message from the staff member who also shared some of theirs with (potential) CF in our group chat to say she's paid and CF replied to ask her if she expected her to pay towards her food too as she shared it with her.
AIBU?
