Ask for gas money. Tune will change real quick.

No is a complete sentence. She can find herself an Uber or Lyft it’s not your responsibility at all

I’m actually quite pissed off because she has literally walked up to me to say “You need to work overnights so you can drive me home!”
I’m so tempted to just leave right after my shift. I’m just absolutely flabbergasted that someone (a shift, even) would act like this.

How can I find out more about our Lyft program? I’ve been unable to find out about it on Sbuxben’s website. (I’m honestly looking for myself because if I’m working 9p-5a I don’t wanna drive home if I don’t have to!)

Definitely bring this up with your SM. you are not her uber driver. you shouldn’t even need to have an excuse. it’s boundary crossing 10000%. just tell your SM exactly what happened, it may be uncomfortable, but you are not in the wrong here. if the SM doesn’t do anything go to your DM

She played the victim card and not only “made me feel like an asshole for not taking her home” but was like “I can’t afford an Uber or Lyft.” So again I look like an asshole if I don’t at least “help”….needless to say I’m requesting not to be on overnights after this. I’m all for helping someone out, but honestly it pisses me off when they guilt trip you.

I would drive anyone in an emergency; however it’s not my responsibility to taxi other partners home, nor pick them up and bring them to work. So, no, I cannot give you a ride.

Unless she’s paying you a price YOU decide, you aren’t her taxi/Uber.

It’s worse. She guilt tripped me and I paid for their Lyft -.- it’s only $10, but I brought it to my SM’s attention.
Meggilli91 5 points 1y ago
Omygosh no more! It’s wildly inappropriate at this point. You aren’t her parent. She needs to figure out her own crap. Ask to be switched shifts if nothing else is being done

Yeah, so I needed up escalating it, but I’m kind of amazed that this is a thing. Like I said “no”, that should be it. You’re a shift, do you think this is how professionals work? Like you’re literally telling me your family life BS and how you’re financially unstable and how your car has been sold before repo…and that I’m just supposed to “accept it” and now give you rides all over town, and mind you, it’s past my home…so I have to drive up AND BACK…in my car, which I’m trying not to drive up mileage because I need it to last another 2 years (it’s my baby and I’d like to be done my degree before I buy another) and I’m just trying to come and go from work and not deal with politics, and then I get guilt tripped into venmoing money, it’s not working so she’s like “can you do this?” And I’m like “Jesus. You’re making this more difficult than it’s worth.” And I just caved because she’s had me clocked in since 2100 and I’m SUPPOSED to be off at 0500, but she didn’t “let me” clock out until 0528 until we “figured this out”….like I’m tempted to talk to my SM about that as well…keeping me on the clock because you can’t figure out your ride situation?

Seriously this needs to end like yesterday! Get SM involved ASAP! No means no

You should simply say no and call your SM. I’m guessing you’re still going to be driving this person though?
XSnapCracklePopX 5 points 1y ago
So I called my SM, but of course I was guilt tripped this morning when my shift “couldn’t afford a Lyft home”, so I had a promo on my card that gave me $5 off and made the ride $10. I can eat $10 once and then talk to my SM. she’s really receptive and I really appreciated her being open to communication between how this looks.
