OR

I wonder if you can dispute the charges on your Costco Visa card if, in fact, you use that charge card for purchases. Probably a long shot since technically the Costco employee let you pay for her goods on your card. But that's against their policy!!!

In any event, I'd never take her again. The Dragon in me!

I'm just about positive you can. For food and everyday Items I use my credit union debit card. I never thought of getting a Costco Visa Card. Thank you.

@Alsace Gal Go to her bank and, hopefully, there will be sufficient funds. If not, go back to her house and demand she give you cash. If or when she calls again for you to take her to Costco, I would decline and tell her she needs her own Costco card and her own transportation.

Thank you, good advice, I so dislike confronting people, I always start shaking.

Does she still owe you for the first trip? She has a lot of nerve and you should have never allowed this.

When I still worked we had a coworker that would hear me and a guy friend saying we were going to costco. She would always ask us to get a case of water and expect him to carry it up to the second floor. I took her aside and said look he has a bad back, that is not kind and we had a water club for a dollar a month!

She would ask me to get about thirty dollars of food and give me a ten dollar bill. That happened once, after that we were always hush hush about our costco trips.

When she got sick she asked everyone to donate our vacation time to her, problem was she used her time very recklessly over the years, she had no children and had no time, I had two children and retired with a thousand hours of time. I did not donate, my time went in a 401k when I retired. Some people are just users.

@Alsace Gal And that is another reason you were scammed,because you dislike confrontation. Let us know what happens. I would be very surprised if this is resolved.

First, I would go to her bank tomorrow and cash her check at her bank.

Second, if you ever are willing to take her to Costco again, I would tell her beforehand that she will need to pay Costco in cash--not reimburse you--at the time of purchase. You can offer to take her to her bank to cash a check beforehand, if you're inclined to be generous.

If you don't want to take her again, but don't want to confront her directly about your reasons, you can say something like "I'm sorry, but I can't do that anymore. Costco is not letting customers lend their cards out anymore. I'd be happy to take you with me the next time I go so you can open your own account." Which is true, Costco doesn't want nonmembers using other's memberships.

I don't like confrontation either, @Alsace Gal, but I could manage telling this person to take a hike. Dos she ever help you out in any appreciable way?

spumoni99 · ‎02-16-2019

Just remind yourself that she is the one in the wrong, don't be a door mat. She didn't even ask you if you could take her, she just assumed, that in itself is very rude.

She is a not so good friend and neighbor.

Good one! I hadn't thought of that.

To be honest, yes she has. When my dear sister passed I was a mess and she helped me lifting items which I can't do myself.
She helped me without my asking, all garden things, limbs etc.
