Open the receipts
  1. The groceries were shared.
    Tara and Miles split the order because everyone used the kitchen staples.
    We are missing half the list.
  2. Miles requested the refund.
    The app sent the refund to Miles's account, even though the order was split.
    I will handle the refund.
  3. Then Miles used the credit.
    He figured the amount was small and already sitting in his account.
    It is just the fee.
  4. Tara found the gap later.
    The refund never made it back to the shared grocery balance.
    Where did the refund go?
  5. The apartment had opinions.
    The small number somehow made the argument bigger, because everyone had a different line for fairness.
    Small money is still shared money.
  6. Miles said it was in his account.
    Miles said he paid the fees from a credit he controlled. Tara said he controlled it only because he placed the shared order.
    That refund was not yours alone.
    It covered the fees.
  7. The kitchen split.
    Some said Miles owed the apartment. Others said the fee was too small to turn into a house meeting.
    Pay it back.
    It was tiny.
  8. So where do you stand?
    Tara has to decide whether Miles pays it back, everyone lets it go, or the apartment makes a refund rule.
    What is fair here?
