We have a coffee club here at work. Members pay $15 per month for coffee and someone collects the monthly dues and makes sure coffee is always available. Not freshly made, just available to be made. I've been a member for a year or so.
So, around the first of November I took notice that I was buying most of my coffee at Starbuck's across the street and not from the coffee club. I decided not to renew that month, ran into the coffee guru guy in the lunchroom, gave him cash for the coffee I was getting that morning and told him I quit the club.
Then? I got an invoice at the end of December saying that I owe $30 for Nov and Dec. I emailed him and reminded him that I quit the club in November. He didn't remember and told me he'd remove me from the late list. Then this morning I get another, much more terse, reminder that I owe $30 to the coffee club. I did not want to be the bad guy....
So I paid it.
And that's the end because the coffee club is now disbanded. They ran it into debt. Interesting, huh?
There's really no point to this note expect to say that I'm patting myself on the back for rising above the pointless argument I could have started.
