AITA for not getting our new team member 2 bowls from Chipotle despite them writing (2x on their order?)?
I manage a team of 6 people, we are now coming back to the office one day a week. I decided to get lunch for the team to show that I am appreciative of everyone coming back to the office, eventually I can use the company card but for now I used my own cash.
Well I ask everyone to write on this sheet of paper what their order for Chipotle is, and I was going to pick it up. Well, one of my team members call her Cathy, puts her order down and then puts 2x.
I was like this is odd but when I went to Chipotle I just got one bowl for her, as I did for all my other coworkers. I didn't want people to think I was being unfair or anything.
Well when I come back I give everyone their bowls / burritos and Cathy flips out. She says why I didn't get her two bowls, I said I wasn't sure. She then starts raising her voice, I tell her we can speak in my office but then she goes onto rant saying that I am giving her an eating disorder, that she isn't going to starve herself. I stepped away to my desk and called HR. She went to their office and then someone had a phonecall with me.
Besides what happens with HR, on a personal level was I wrong here? I didn't want to be unfair to my other teammembers that I get one person twice the food.
