Ok
I work in a buffet, as a busser. i get a new co-worker by the name of Jeremy. Me and him get along fine.
He needs help moving into his new place and doesn't have a car. I offer him my services because I just got a new car not
too long ago and don't mind helping someone when thier down.
The day that he decided to move was on a payday, so I drive him to work, pick up his check and go cash it, I get my check
Direct Deposited into my bank. I lend him 20 bucks to help, it's all that i could afford at the time. I take us out to
eat at a chinease restraunt - 24 bucks. No biggy. I lend him a vcr and a 13 inch t.v. till his from the rent to own place
comes in, I brought him there too. We go to walmart, he picks up bread milk and the essentials and an x-box. We go to blockbuster
and rent SSX - Tricky (it sucks for the x-box) and madden 2005. He bought all that stuff with his paycheck.
I fill my car up with gas. I bring him to work and drop him off for the next week or so......Even on my off days, i drive 10 miles
pick him up at 1 in the morning, drive 3 miles drop him off, drive 13 back.
Well iam getting pissed cuz iam not getting ANY GAS MONEY, and we have eaten out like 6 times within the past 3 days.
We get extra money every night after work, we get a % of every waitress we work with, anywhere from 16 bucks to 66 a night, is the highest i've gotten...
He got 62 bucks like 2 nigts in a row...
So i tell a co-worker, and she while we were all in the car, I was dropping him and her(co-worker2) off, that he should
give me some gas money for the past 2 weeks.
he doesn't - we eat at taco bell that night after going to walmart, where he picked up a dvd thing for his x-box and Friday Night fights/lights w/e
Today, ----yesterday at the time i wrote this.....I have to go to work @ 4 p.m. - He has to go to work @ 10 A.M.
I get a call at noon, from him saying that he couldn't get a ride, and was wondering if i'd bring him @ 4, and he'd
just say that he wasn't aware that he had to go in @ 10.
Iam like sure. --well i run a bit late because i had to fight with my sister before i left to clean up the house, and crap
so it's like 3:45 and iam at his apartment complex, I ring his room and run back to my car (expecting him to come out
in his work uniform(it's a casino)and we go to work) he comes out in a t-shirt and shorts, iam like screw that and i go to work...
I can't be late, I am like the hardest worker there and i've never been late to work...Heck just yesterday i slipped, dislocated my knee, had to go to
the hospital, and returned to work an hour later, ready to work...Today i worked with my right ankle the size of a baseball. Why? because i like what i do.
Anyways.
While pulling into the garage @ work, i get a call from my supervisor telling me to go and get him..iam like wtf and i tell
her what i just told you.......i turn around and go get him..
I walk into the complex AGAIN and this time i see his landlord, she's like are you looking for jeremy?
Me : Yes ma'am i am, he has to work today
Her : Well he just left with James to go eat at the Isle.(another casino)
((((James is a High roller gambler who lives like 2 rooms down the hall from Jeremy - he gets free food @ the casinos)))))
Me : well i was told to come get him, is there anyway i can get a hold of james?
Her : I can call his cell phone number
(so she calls, and what it seems to be is that Jeremy called out that day, and went to lunch.....)
So i am pissed and i go to work, 40 minutes late which i lose on my check.....so it's costing my money...
I do my job, and here i see jeremy comming to work like 2 hours later.....I ask him in the back
Me : dude what happened?
Him : Don't talk to me
OK FINE i walk off not saying a word to him for the rest of the night.....(this is around 5:30 ish)
now it's 10 p.m. and we are closing, he comes up to me out of the blue and
Him : WHy did you leave me like that?
Me : i thought you didn't want to talk about it?
Him : well that was earlier, i got i would like to know cuz i got in trouble for it.
Me : I'd rather not talk about it.
Was I an arshole? I mean i had to go to work, and i was expecting to get him and be on my way...he hasn't paid me at all for gas and
my car doesn't run on air....
Thanks any feedback is appreciated..
