Why Does It Always Have to be the ... Girl? email this discussion to a friend?

I was asked to sit on the door of a local meeting I attend once a week and sell tickets. The coordinator and his wife did not pay to attend but got tickets. When I turned over the money, it was short what they did not pay. The next week the coordinator's wife accused me of not paying. I explained I was first to pay because I had to use my payment to make change for the second attendee. I further explained that everyone in attendance had paid minus she and her husband. She said I did not sign in so I had not paid and must pay. I told her I only had the exact amount for that night's fee so I could not give her anymore. I explained again that I had paid and if she checked the amount turned in to the list, subtract her and her husband, and if my name was not listed, she should be one ticket amount over-basic bookkeeping. I asked her to double check and get back to me. I missed the next meeting due to other obligations but was there this week. I paid my entry fee and near the end of the meeting gave her a check for the amount she had requested, mainly to keep peace because she was giving me the cold shoulder. When the meeting was over my upline handed me the check back and said that she and her husband took care of it last week. I exploded inside! This lady, if you want to call her that, had gone to someone else with a very private matter between us!

I had given her my name, address, phone # and email address but she never contacted me as I had requested. She was not nice initially and remained very cold the next time I say her so I figured, what the hey, give her the money and keep the peace. I know that I did pay and that she and her husband didn't but I'd let it go to keep peace. I told no one except my 17 year-old daughter the night of nopayment and said that I hoped nothing bad would come of it but I had a really bad feeling about the entire situation. Well, I was right. Since I have been taking payments, I have received partial payments and quietly added the balance from my own pocket. I have complained to no one or disclosed any ill statement about anyone yet here comes the rain again....

I was insulted and deeply hurt that this young person would reach so low. This is the main reason I do not like to handle other people's money because it always come down to this. Why does it always have to be the ... girl? Life is too short for the dumb stuff. I am going to retire from being a ticket seller and begin paying by check only so that I have definitive proof that this ... girl is as honest as the day is long. Kinda kills your faith in mankind, doesn't it? sad

I would definately say that paying by check is best if only to provide you a receipt that you paid. It's ashame there are people like this in the world, those that are dishonest. The only thing you can do is to continue to do the best you can, and cover yourself. Namaste-Anora

That is the plan. I will not be defeated; I've learned to document, document, and document again. I will be paying by check only from now on.

Oh yeah tell me about it, and the worst part of it, nobody knows the truth except you and ... the girl. angry

Anyhow, if she's going to give you a cold shoulder, then so what?! You didn't do anything wrong, if she'd like to do that all her life, then let her just stress herself away.

If I were you, I'd just let it go and just ignore her forever.

I know what's bugging you is that she had the nerve to tell it to other people. It's something I don't want too. Something like that (or any problem for the matter) should be kept in private between the concerned people.

Anyhow, that's over now and at least you know that next time, you shouldn't trust them for this type of situation.

Whew.. It's really annoying, ain't it? Not being able to do anything at all.

I do intend to take the higher road but with check book in tow; I will not be put in this position again. Thanks for your support, Mylotters rock!

I can understand that in most places the economy is bad, if not everywhere. My next statement is not to offend, but if it does I do apologize as I am not very knoweledgable in the manner of meetings. Now, I would think that if you were to attend a meeting that you would have enough money to pay for yourself, as you yourself did. It appears to me that this woman and her husband, or maybe she acting alone as tried to swindle her way in to something that should only be available to people whom are willing to pay and be honest if they did or did not. If I were to do something like she has but were to be caught red handed I would be most hurriedly to pay my fee so as to blow what had happened away and hopefully out of the minds of all involved and all that know. My advice to you is to yes, pay in a way that can be recorded, either by yourself or the one selling tickets or even both. Make a note and get a witness, lol!

Yeah, and I should ask for a pint of blood too. LOL From now on I'm using checks only to create an audit trail. Thanks for your support, SomeCowgirl.

It just goes to show you the convenience of cash isn't always the best thing!

There are things that happen which are not good and it is entirely because of some people. I try to stay away from such people and such situations. Sometimes it cannot be helped and the situation becomes distressing. Something could always be done about it. Cheers!!

You are so right, underdogtoo, I am not going to let this one person interfer with my personal progress, I will survive this horrible experience with grace. Thanks for your support.

The nerve of some people. They never see their own faults only those of others.
Don't the relize when they point a finger,three is pointing back at them.
If it was me I would definitely refuse to have anything to do with selling their tickets anymore and see if this happens to the next ticket seller.
She may have set you up for this for some reason, so I would sure be careful.
She doesn;t sound like a very trustworthy person and I think I would steer clear of her. As long as I knew my conscience is clear what does it matter what other people think.
Happy Mylotting my friend.

Thank you, Olijulsar, your support means a lot. I have been paying by check only since this incident. I am suppose to work the table this Tuesday and you bet I will be keeping record like a bookkeeper; no money, no ticket, and partial payments will not be accepted. I found out that the same thing has happened before but I refuse to let someone else run me away from the greatest money-making opportunity I've come across. I still plan to build my business, I just won't be as trusting. Life throws you a curve ever now and again, you just gotta be ready with a change-up.

You are very welcome roberton. I'm sending good luck your way and lots of money angels to help you along.
Happy MyLotting, my friend.
