I got an idea. Say no and do what works for you.


Except the axe kick part.

I'd keep buying his lunch for a week
if he doesn't offer any $$
spit in his food everyday for the next week

see how this turns out, then we'll go to plan B

you know the self checkout at the grocery store? if your sushi doesn't ring up when you slide it over the thing, you can just put it in the bag, right?

Well, I know fer sure self-serves keep tabs on cantaloupe. "An item has been placed in your bag which has not been accounted for".

Take it out of the business expense drawer/cash drawer. ha jk

#6 Gonelifting would not go out to get something to eat.

Knock, then go in. But I would also ask the first time I did it if it was OK. Hopefully the person can tell you definitively what to do next time. <Knock-knock.. "Hi, I didn't know if it was OK to just open the door or not". Then whatever his/her reply was, should be good.

or just ask a trusted person in the office about the knocking thing. Also ask them about the lunch buying thing.

When I worked in construction (yes I did!) We always had one guy go out and get lunch. Every single day he would get stiffed by someone. wtf? It bothered me almost as much as it bothered him. I always had my money out and ready to give to him as soon as he came in the door from buying lunch. Others would "wait till they finished..." then they're forget. blah blah. WTF?
Just pay the man as he enters, period! ARGGGG!.

This is how I would do it. It's a win-win situation. If you go again and he asks you again, just 'add' the two trips together and tell him that. "$4 for Monday, and $6 today... $10." Then he'll see the light. If he doesn't ask again, then it was a one time thing, and the $4 price was not too much to pay for a one time thing.

I wouldn't really ask if I could pick something up for anyone. Just like I don't ask "How are you?" if I don't want an answer.

I know he asked you. That's messed up. But who knows, he might surprise you.

except at 2pm i hadn't eaten lunch yet and was seriously about to cry from being so weak with hunger. I had a tiny breakfast and not much to eat the night before. the meeting I was in was so technical and i was fading out of consciousness, when the CEO said, "and stilleto, this is where YOU come in".
what?
what?

I just nodded my head, and when he left to take a phone call, i said I had to get some water and ran to my office and ate.

at 4, i just crashed and couldn't stay awake anymore.
