  2. Dana saw the tote by the door.
    Dana figured one trip could solve a whole pile of household errands.
    Anyone else need returns done?
  3. The tote filled up fast.
    One small thing multiplied until Claire's errand had a waiting list.
    Since you are going anyway...
  4. Then Claire picked it up.
    The tote was still hers. The work inside it was not.
    Wait, whose stuff is all this?
  5. Then the receipts got messy.
    One wrong envelope could send the wrong refund to the wrong person.
    This is why I separated mine.
  6. Dana said it saved time.
    Dana saw one efficient trip. Claire saw everyone else's refund risk in her hands.
    You made me the return desk.
    I thought it was helping everyone.
  7. The household split.
    Some said Claire should not handle anyone else's money. Others said a group errand made sense if people helped.
    Keep her tote private.
    Make it opt-in.
  8. So where do you stand?
    They have to decide whether the tote stays private, the organizer gets paid, or group returns become opt-in.
