since i woke up early, i have a little story time about ‘utang’ 😬
i used to sell my baked goodies and some things like wallets, cute sign pens, etc. it was my source of income back then and tbh, i earned enough to have a savings on my own and sustain some of my needs at school (like my books and reqs)
i have this customer. i was really nice to her and i was really considerate when it comes to our payment terms. she used to order a lot of baked goodies and etc. aaaand whenever she orders, i always deliver it on time.
i’ve always been the type of person who gives chances. like all the time but haaay 😪 soooo here’s what happened. she was consistently paying weekly but there was a time that her balances piled up (around 10k na) because she wasn’t paying on time anymore.
so i stopped giving her stocks and baked goodies. after that, i was ALWAYS asking nicely if she can pay na. when she says no, i will always give consideration.
so to cut the long story short, my friends were telling me na i was too considerate that they can see that she is abusing it already. and that’s when i realized that i was already sacrificing some things like my weekly stocks on ingredients since the income isnt moving anymore.
when i realized that i was waaay too kind and she was abusing it, i tried to be frank bc i needed the money for my school reqs too. but guess what? i was called rude ??? 🥴
when i was being frank that i needed the money and i even offered that she can pay me weekly again, she was starting to give me excuses that she lost her job (for like the nth time) but she keeps posting that she’s in their office looool.
i tried to confront her pero in a manner na may respect parin since she’s older but she keeps on insisting na i was being rude daw and i shouldn’t do that to her kasi i need to respect her bc she’s older nga. (i still have receipts but i dont want to include it here na)
she keeps on telling me what to do with MY business and that i should WAIT because she has a balance to her friend around 20k daw and her friend isn’t nagging her naman. SHE EVEN HAD THE AUDACITY TO ASK ME FOR A CHRISTMAS GIFT.
mas matagal na daw siya sa business kaya she knows what to do and i need to learn a lot pa daw kasi shs student pa lang ako. and i was like ????
THAT’S WHERE I LOST IT. I told her that if you’re long enough in the business you should know that you should pay on time 😬😬 Then she got angry and started posting on facebook about how rude i was and started playing victim lmaooo
anyway to end this thread, it took more than a year for her to pay and i always need to remind her pa kasi she would always come up with excuses then she unfriended me on facebook.
her last balance was 300 pesos nalang then noong date of payment na she sent me 200 kasi she forgot daw na 300 pala LOOOOL (it was around feb 2020 lang) di parin niya nababayaran yung 100 until now tho but its ok bc i dont want to talk to her and i don’t want her negativity na.
i was stressed af when this happened but it was a lesson learned for me. that it’s okay to be nice and considerate but always put a limitation because some people tend to abuse your kindness 🤷🏻‍♀️
