WIBTBF if I ask for my change back after paying for who I thought was my mom but was not
Ok some context for anybody reading my mom works at restaurant and at a grocery store I also work at she and I are very close with the restaurant owner. Let’s call her Mona. When I mean close I mean she invites us to her family events and we invite her our family events. Right ok so Mona considers my mom her right hand woman helping her out when her husband isn’t there. My mom works for her and at the grocery store I also work at.
Thursday my mom came in and was buying like three pork roast and like a few other vegetables. I thought my mom was buying groceries for us. She had said that morning that she MIGHT go to the store and buy some groceries for us so I thought it was for us. Well when my mom went to pay her card wasn’t working. So my mom went outside to her truck to get some cash. The total was like 33 something and the change was about 6 dollars and some cents. Again I thought it was for my mom so I paid for it when my mom went out. When my mom came back I told her that I had paid for it and tries giving her the receipt cause my coworker who was checking her out had said and my mom wanted the receipt so I went outside to give it to her. When I handed it to her she said that she was actually buying it for Mona that Mona had needed it and told me to kept the receipt and let her know so that she can pay me back.
Well yesterday around 10:30 ish when I got off work I went to go drop off the receipt cause she keeps a record of about everything and i hadn’t realized that I left my change with the receipt I meant to only give her the receipt but she kind of snatched it out of hands which is understandable she was making drinks for these customers. But what threw me off was the fact that she said “oh our change thank you.”
It baffled me to say the least but I feel kinda bad cause she might not know that I paid for it and just assumed I held on it for some reason. Or she knows and just thought I was paying to just pay which I do, do sometimes but that’s when I when I offer yk. Idk I feel kind of torn right now and it’s not that I’m desperate for money it’s just a little inconvenient cause I was use it to buy some groceries. Which it’s fine if I have to wait but idk should I have said something, is there really any nice way I can put things so that I don’t burn this bridge? Should I bring this up with my mom?
So would I be the asshole if I asked for my change or for her to pay me back? 😭
