A guy on my crew never has money for the coffee cart.
By @ineskindof · Work
Every day he 'forgets' his wallet and asks to borrow a few bucks. It's not the money, it's the fact that it's every single day now.
The full story
He makes the same as the rest of us. It started off once in a while, now it’s a guarantee he's gonna ask me or someone else for two or three dollars when the cart comes around. I'm over it. I started just saying 'nah man' but now he just moves on to the next guy down the line. Is it worth actually saying something to him directly and making it awkward, or do I just let it go and let him bother everyone else?

What people are saying
@welpsame — let him go down the line its a social experiment now
@ediey — He's got a classic case of 'strategic incompetence' and he won't stop until someone calls him out.
@liam — A man who doesn't carry his own wallet isn't much of a man at all.
@sageok — That's so frustrating! You're definitely not overreacting, it would drive me crazy too.
@tesslol — My first manager was like this, he'd 'forget' his lunch and then just eat off everyone's plates. We started going to lunch without him.
