Lunch with Colleagues - don't know what to do

You are a better person than me.

Expensive lunch for you though.

Thanks a lot for the update. You did exactly the right thing, just a pity you lost the £30, but it is probably worth it for a quiet life.

Oh thank you both, before posted last night I was ready to storm in, have out with her and end up in an impossible situation. My jobs and professional reputation are worth more than £30 and why at least the waitress got her Christmas tip.

I'm sure I'm not Sambuca, you come across as pretty level headed and your advice really helped thanks.

gibson - have you thought that this person is 'dishonest'? to let this drop is perhaps laudable, but, this person preys on people who do not know her too well? She not only 'stole' from her colleagues, she tried to deprive the waitress of her well earned tip?
also the other people at the lunch - do they know their money was 'pocketed' rather than left as a tip? They should.
I appreciate that for harmonies sake you prefer to let it drop - but, I think she will take that as encouragement.

Well, perhaps it's been handled the best way for now then.
I would struggle with not reminding her every time I saw her that she owed me £30 and if she eventually tried to do me for bullying again, I would say what had happened and point out that it isn't bullying but that she is a thief. So she has got form for this then. I just don't get some people.

Sorry about your money though

I must have been having an 'off' night :eek::eek:

I would get her by stealth. If not this time, then next.

I'm glad the waitress was proven not to be a thief or rubbish at her job :0)

Blimey - Thingy is hard-faced, isn't she?! :eek: And very thick-skinned, too! To keep ripping people off - for shame!
