What type of backward BS is this !!!
Lol! Where is this person from, how old are they?
Send her a receipt for a service charge electric etc 🤣
Even if this party wasn’t a potluck…the person should be willing to bring something without the expectation of being reimbursed. I think the only time it would be okay to do this was if the host asked you to pick something up on your way that they had forgotten that they needed for the party.
Absolutely a faux paux. The only way this is excusable in our culture is if she’s completely unaware of how potlucks work and what it means to be either guest or host. Is she foreign? Are her parents? If she’s not than this is such a huge red flag that she’s got issues lol.
Cheap ass
I would immediately wrap her food, bag it and open the front door for her 😍
She would’ve been shown the door 🚪
Did you ask everyone to bring something? And did you make sure everyone knew that you meant for them to pay themselves? I mean, maybe she just thought that you wanted people to bring something so that you didn't have to go shopping & get it yourself & you were going to be paying everyone back?
@Rachel not sure if this poster is in the US, but at potlucks the host is never expected to reimburse the guest. The whole point of a pot luck for everyone to bring their own contribution.
Are they from another country? I’m from the UK and have only done potlucks in the US. That said if I take a dish to a party in the UK, I wouldn’t ask the host to pay for it. 🤦♀️
How is that person not embarassed 🤦🏻♀️ what a cheap ass move. Do they know what a potluck is? Yikes
@Brittany we do something similar here in the UK, or I do with my friends and family anyway, we just don't call it a potluck party. We just call it contributing 😊
@Rachel I agree we usually just say the term “bring and share” (lunch/picnic etc) but the principle is the same that everyone brings something for all to eat there’s no expectation for the host to reimburse as in return you’re also eating.

What was your response?
Ooo I really want to know the outcome!!!!
The audacity and privilege/entitlement she felt handing a receipt 😂🤣 if that's the case she better divy the cost among guest and explain why she's putting that financial cost when it was conveyed at a potluck you bring your own dish; just like at a party one may say BYOB 😂💀
WHAT!!!!! 😳😳
I would’ve brought it up in front of everyone. “So guys, you bring this food to my party, do you expect to be reimbursed?” To prove my point. Instead of standing there arguing w her.
@Kellie i would do this too lol make a groupchat lol
@Noelle that's not a bad idea 🤣🤣 add everyone and ask if anyone else would like reimbursements like that one person 😆
Ridiculous. I would pay for the food and never invite this person again.
Let the guest know that you're not paying her back. Remind her what a potluck party is and that if she didn't want to participate, she didn't have to come to a potluck party.
