Almost 2 months ago I sent a tip check to my cake lady. They cake was fabulous and I obviously thought she deserved a good tip. Well fast forward 2 months and she still hasn't cashed the check. I ended up losing her phone number so email was my form of communication. I emailed her several times making sure she got the package and to emphasize that I needed that check cashed so I could close out that account/ finsh getting my name changed.
She responded that she got the package about a month after I sent it and said nothing about cashing the check. I finally found her phone number and called her today. She has lost the check. I told her I had to close the account because I am getting charged on it she was gracious and agreed that was fine.
I am kind of irked. She couldn't even respond to an email me to say she lost it. But I also kind of feel bad taking it back in a way. I know she has a brand new baby so I was giving her some slack but I don't think a new baby makes it hard to get a check to the bank within a 2 month time frame/ or to send an email.
So my question is. Would you send a new tip check? For the same amout or less? I am also just afraid she won't cash it in a reasonable amount of time either. On our other checking account it wouldn't matter so much but it would keep the check book balance out of whack ya know? or would you send cash. if it doesn't get there oh well its not my problem?
Love is like infinity: You can't have more or less infinity, and you can't compare two things to see if they're "equally infinite." Infinity just is, and that's the way I think love is, too.
