Scared of confrontation
raininglillies13 June 3rd, 2021

Hi, so I work at an inn. I am only allowed to take certain types of payment and I do this over and over to myself. I sabotage myself by taking the wrong payment.. because I want to avoid confrontation and I'm anxious about making people mad!!! Any tips on how to stop this behavior?

Hello. Hopefully the average person you encounter won't get mad at such a small inconvenience. : ) At least I hope people are nicer than that. But maybe you could put up a sign about the payment policy? Then you could just point to the sign and say "sorry for the inconvenience but this is our company policy. There's a bank nearby at...". Or maybe just practicing telling someone about the payment types would help it become more routine and less stressful.

Hi, thank you so much I appreciate the advice!!! It makes me feel better to know that it shouldnt be a big inconvenience for them.. and I will definitely be using our signs more, for whatever reason people pretend to not see them!! I hope you have a great day and thanks for your help!!!!
