I would say the more people he does it for, the more likely it is that he sees you only as a friend. It does mean things like documenting your work processes, organizing your files, and leaving behind a write-up of where key projects stand. What skin pigmentation a person has is irrelevant. There is no way around that. This is pretty presumptuous statement about why he hasnt paid you back. Im also of the older millennial generation, and it took me a while before I got comfortable with Venmo, it felt weird to attach my bank info to it. All of my other colleagues are quick to ask how much they owe and reimburse me, but on the occasions where my CEO joins the lunch order, he has never paid for his food or even offered to do so. But if hes even a halfway decent person if hes even a 30 percent decent person hed be mortified to know that you think hes been trying to rip you off this whole time. White men have fundamentally have more privilege and wealth than others. Im in a group of 15-20 guys who dine out every couple of weeks. I think your second point is very relevant to this situation The LW assumes that the boss has spent time thinking about lunch money and decided not to pay it. Ask me how I know that this will work. I think OP has to directly acknowledge the fact that the boss hasnt been paying. I had a friend who bought stuff for people. If he buys you lunch it definitely means he wants something, but it's up to you to figure out what. Send him an itemized invoicewith late charges. We have used it and it is great. Yes, he should be asked. Sorry but this sounds less like oblivious and more like deliberate. But it might not make sense to say every single person should take a turn ordering lunch. Most people in my age group have no idea what it is. Kid does not get hints at all but is great with explicit directions and stated expectations. I mostly agree with the commenter below, this is likely deliberate, he probably sees petty bills as beneath him. We had to have a separate bank account with our limit ($5K) for them to hold against it, and even if we paid off the balance early during the month or sent them a check for $10K, we couldnt spend a penny over 5K during any month. The talks turned personal, with the husband sharing that he had fallen out of love with his wife. If there was a text like hey, I spotted you for that drink, do you mind Venmoing me? I probably would have complied (even though its strange to charge someone after offering to buy them a drink). Did they short the tipTHAT is a nightmare Ive heard about. That way the timing isnt so weird, youre giving him a polite out, and its a good example of why doing it via cash only is a better plan. Of like an entire race. Obliviousness is far likelier than some hypothetical thrill. Is it because of the tip? Im aware Venmo is something used to pay for stuff, but not quite sure what it is. Agreed, as a 20-something Venmo lover, but Id always say something first! It also allows for online ordering for smaller local restaurants that might not have their own website. should you bring your lunch on your first day of work? If the boss even has an assistant, that would be a good person to ask, but in an office of 5 people, maybe he doesnt have one. By the time the couple separated and sought counseling, the emotional affair had progressed to the point where the husband could see himself having children with the manager -- and the wife no longer felt comfortable walking into her own business. 3. The tone you want here is utterly matter-of-fact, as if of course hell settle up once he knows what he owes (both because thats probably the case and because taking that tone makes things less awkward for everyone). Why would the CEO review the credit card statements? Nor do I think people will hyper-focus on her personal card use and call her out if she uses it for non-emergencies in the future. That said, the boss is absolutely in the wrong here, even if he doesnt realize it, and the OP deserves to get repaid, as well as paid for every lunch going forward. Thats step #1. Separate checks for life. In my old jobs, it was never a problem if there was just one other male coworker and we just went grabbed a lunch the two of us, but I feel that with just a female coworker it may be inappropriate. I also dont ignore the reality of white privilege. I dont think there are many situations where sending someone a Venmo charge instead of talking to them at least once is a good idea. I wouldnt assume that your coworkers are buying the CEOs lunch. If there is someone in the office who OP trusts to give good advice, I recommended going to that person to ask how people typically approach the CEO for reimbursement. started at ground and worked their way up. You should still tell your boss that youve gone XX dollars in the hole paying for his lunches and not getting reimbursed and its no longer within your budget to do so, but this prevents the deficit from happening in the first place. It has nothing to do with age. That made it fairer. 2) Not making multiple stops. When we tried Venmo, the person who paid was always short changed at the end of the process. It's good news for single workers looking for love and increasingly stuck at work -- but more treacherous for those in committed relationships. Lunch is here! Once youve paid for it and and the food is eaten, theres basically no incentive for people to remember to pay you other than moral compunction. Im an EA and catering/lunches are absolutely part of my regular duties. However, without straight out asking to be reimbursed for personal funds laid out, nobody knows what his response will be. Andrew Tate said the most dangerous man is a man that has no access to no woman, is he right or wrong? The CEO might well and truly be a jackass but there could be other factors as discussed by other commenters. Its a slippery slope when society begins to believe in absolutes like white-males-are-inherently-privileged-and-therefore..enter bad adjective here. Can I bring $13 to you now? If eating out for lunch isnt mandatory, then ordering it should rotate. My last boss was this way too. Make sure they dont add mayo! or the Tell them they cut my sandwich diagonally last time and I want it cut straight! not to mention if an order isnt correct and its my fault because didnt check all 10 sandwiches. Its incredibly unlikely that your boss will flagrantly refuse to pay once it registers for him that youve been buying his lunch with your own personal money. It will sound weird, but having a child on the autism spectrum has done wonders for me on this front. So, Ive broken it down to 10 signs a male coworker likes So I would go the direct route. Venmo is basically just PayPal in App form, which is to say, they want to hold my hold my money without any of the protections of actually being a bank. To the OP, it seems like it should be obvious to the CEO what is going on because its going on outloud with everyone else every time. I capped out at an Original Nintendo and had cassette tapes in my car until I wrecked it and only then did I get a car without a tape deck, lol. Cut it out. Can we spread this out more evenly? No, thats a pretty valid reason IMO. Let me know how many orders I need to grab. That way youre 1) determining where YOU want to eat your lunch from.

Theyve usually got a good rapport with the executive and can help guide you how to best handle this type of thing. I could murder for a good chicken finger sub right now. If he buys you lunch does he like you more than a friend? I started working for this one company when I was 20. Wash your hands of it as soon as you can. He literally never knew why he was always assigned the first row seat until six months later he commented on it while we were traveling together. Im sure that, like Alison says, he is assuming it is being taken care of some other way.

He sits near you in meetings. I dont order other peoples lunches and I dont ask other people to order for me. But often times certain peoples time is more valuable than the time of a junior team member. Idk too many guys who will spend money on a girl they had no sexual interest in. They were trying to do right, but in this specific instance, they really really really shouldnt have. I resent our new hires for setting better work-life boundaries than our company normally has, hairy legs at work, my office sent me a random TV, and more, heres an example of a great cover letter with before and after versions, my employee cant handle even mildly negative feedback, my new coworker is putting fake mistakes in my work so she can tell our boss Im bad at my job, insensitive Diversity Day, how to fire someone who refuses to talk to us, and more, weekend open thread February 25-26, 2023, assistant became abusive when she wasnt invited to a meeting, my coworkers dont check on people who are out sick, and more. If you would like me to send a bill more often (monthly or per lunch), please let me know. And was probably expecting me to follow up. My company couldnt get unsecured credit, so we had a secured credit card, which was a pain. Im lucky and I know that, and hope to be this person going forward. maybe that's his style of seduction.maybe he likes to do the casual lunch date thing even if he acts like just a friend in other ways. Making ageist assumptions about your boss or anyone else is going to backfire on you big time. Its up there with the Thanks Obama nonsense when everyone was blaming him for random AF things.

But be prepared for him to just flatly tell you that yes, getting his lunch is part of the job, and that he doesnt think its impacting your ability to do the rest of your work. That advice has been serving me pretty well. Personally I never went out to lunch with coworkers but if they ordered in or we had a potluck I participated. Many popular chain restaurants (like Chipotle) are also starting to roll out similar features where each person picks their meal and pays for it, and then its all packaged together for one person to pickup. so I can use that option.

If the CEO simply refuses to pay his share, or you get in trouble for speaking up, another option would be to simply bring your own lunch and not join in with the others when they order lunch.
