While I was still in school, I decided to try catering services for occasions. You know those ladies that serve food in the VIP section? A friend invited me to join them.
On my very first job, I overheard some of the ladies calculating how much the woman in charge was owing them from about five previous events. That was when I knew… ah, this one fit get problem.
Fast forward to the end of the two-day burial job. When it was time to go, the woman said she would “reach out to us” for payment. Immediately, some of the ladies blocked the gate and refused to let her leave until she paid. I won’t lie, I was happy they did that.
She started shouting and arguing with them until the family of the deceased stepped in. They even had to go inside and bring out money for her to pay us. She paid us for the two days we worked at that house. The other ladies insisted she should complete the old debts too, but the family pleaded with them to settle the remaining payments outside since we had been paid for the work done there.
In the end, the woman refused to let those ladies enter her bus. I just quietly entered and we left. When we got to our stop, I took a bike home.
That was the end of that job.
And the end of me working with her.
They killed my interest with debt.
She gets plenty jobs, but she too dey owe. 😅
