Coworkers Give Less Then Food Costs

[BurnItDwn]

Charge em $6 a couple times per week to make up for it.
If they argue or complain order them to pay up.

Do not let them weasel their way out of it. Be tough and stand your ground.
Lots of luck to yah!

Talk to UNCJigga. I heard he has some good deals going on Pizza by the slice...

 

[BooGiMaN]

why are you the office bitch?

pretty much they will keep giving you 5 bucks until you say something...stop being so nice..

 

[jtvang125]

Go postal and when you're about to do them in, yell "It's $5.30. Not $5"!

 

[UNCjigga]

Drop their food in the trash by accident, and see if they eat it?

 

[crypticlogin]

Pull an IRS. Come next week, leave a tax slip on each desk for back taxes and underpayment penalty.


That or bring it up like a normal person with an iota of self confidence.

Maybe 2 or 3 times a week. It's filling, tasty, and cheap.

Yeah, I'm done. I voluntered to go get the food in the beginning because I enjoy the walk, fresh air, free break, etc.

At first they always gave the change then it slowly tapered off. I'm just going to bring my own lunch in from now on, and if I order I'm going to get it myself.

You eat lunch at the office? I try to get away from the office building as much as possible.

If you're delivering the food, they should be collectively buying YOUR lunch for the trouble. A buck and a half per person is entirely reasonable for a delivery fee. They're probably sitting around while you're gone talking about what a pushover you are.

Because of you being yourself, now they're tax-exempt and they get their own food bitch. People will do this sh!t to you. It doesn't matter whether or not you(and your colleagues) are making OK money or good money. They will do this to you. This stuff obviously happens at work, and this stuff will happen at bars. People don't suck at arithmetics. They're malicious. They'll always stick you as long as you let them. This is why I never offer to be the point man for bills. I'm not that bitter, but now that I've read my own post, I sure sound like I am...
