Then she's thought of Mexican food and broom, mop, and dust pan all of a sudden and asked me to call 99 Cents Store in Lemon Grove and asked them for the name of the Mexican food there too. Lady said they had all three items I called for and is on aisle 10, MExican food close to them os "Cotijas." Told client and she asked me to call Cotijas. Then asked me if I want Mexican food and I said not really, but I'll get that if she wants that for lunch. ALSO she was just about to pay me for the $244 she owes me for a month and she's going to owe me AGAIN as she wants me to pay for 99 Cents and for lunch. Told her she's going to pay me and owe me again. And by her next check she will owe me over $200 again! Says, "Why are you bringing this up now?" Feels like as if it comes with my job to lend her money, or something like that. I didn't pursue as she seems upset. But also told her about her having to pay the office $700. (For this week and last week.) So went to the bank before 11 am, teller "Maria,"the new lady :) and helped me. Also told them about client needing enough to her checking account for $700.
