Same thing happened to me yesterday...parents know the 1st means the daycare fee is due in cash or emt. Parents had a chat with me, dropped child off, I had receipt book out (that usually a hint!) and parents start to leave so in my head I'm thinking...do I speak up? Do I wait till pick up? So I immediately say, will you be paying me at pick up then? And she keeps walking and says ya ya, later. Grrr! What!?
She then calls me saying she will do an emt right away. 3 hours later she send her payment-less $7....grrr again! It's only $7 but do I say something or add it to my list of reasons to terminate? You don't respect me enough to pay on time or pay me the full amount!
