I got a guy at work who seems to be welching on a $20 bet. He keeps saying he's going to pay me but never does. I keep getting the run-around.
At first he was making me out to be a jerk. I'd ask about it maybe every other week or so and he would empty out his pockets and make a fool of himself in front of everyone, "I aint got it man, today aint payday, today aint Friday..."
Then I look for him on a Friday (we get paid every F), and he stopped scheduling himself on Fridays.
So I go up to him on the following Monday and ask why he makes me out to be the jerk by telling me multiple times I have to hit him on a payday when he doesn't even work them anymore.
Now I keep getting the...."I'll cash my check and come back." Twice, hasn't happened yet.
Really 20 bucks is the least of my worries but it's the princible of the matter.
AND TO BOOT.....
He made a bet w/ some other guy 2 months after he's owed me the 20 and payed him within a weeks time.
Now I'm getting razzed by the bet winner who got paid saying, "so why you going to let him flake out on a bet like that?"
WTF am I supposed to do?
I dont need the 20, but I dont want to make it seem like I'm soft. There's more to life and my jobs more important than 20 bucks so I aint going to beat him up or nothing.
I'm stuck, what would you do?
