I’m paying my housecleaner through this crisis and have been depositing two weeks’/days’ pay every two weeks for her. I do that by going to the Oxxo convenience store by my house and reading out her debit card number to the cashier, who enters it into their system. He takes cash from me and money shows up in her account like magic. Today was deposit day and it got away with me. She messaged me at 5PM to politely ask if I’d made the deposit as she was not seeing the money in her account. I raced out of the house with just my change purse and my phone — purse had the money in it, phone had her card number. Forgot one critical thing that I remembered just as the gate door slammed shut: my keys. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Thankfully, everyone is home these days! Knocked on my neighbours’ door and asked if someone could climb over our shared wall to open my gate door. Of course! Five minutes later, I was in, the family had some extra cash (I said it was for their son to buy treats so dad would accept the $50 note I proffered), and it’s now ten minutes later and I can still hear them laughing. Glad that I provided them with some entertainment today. 😂
