Dear Prudence,
I have a second job at an upscale pizza place to try and pay off my college loans. The owners are very nice and often let their employees take home the extras (someone didn’t pick up an order or there was a mistake). It is great because I share a house with a bunch of hungry roommates. Everyone is thankful, except “June.” June can’t seem to get the concept of shutting her mouth and being grateful. June always has to complain: It isn’t the food she likes or we already had it yesterday or she prefers something else. Then she stuffs herself. We have already gotten into trouble twice about her behavior. I told her she was being damn rude to me and she was always welcome to order her own food. June “apologized” and yet continues to make comments. Short of just stopping bringing the food home or escalating it with June, what are my options? It is very irritating to come off a double-shift and get complaints thrown in my face like this.
