Who would skip paying dues?

[sparklymouse]

It often says that on dues day Stacey simply passes a manila envelope around the room for everyone to stick their dollar in. So, if they knew they weren't going to get caught, who do you think would "forget" to put their dollar in before passing the envelope along?

The only one I could really see doing it is Abby. Although I think a very special "Stacey embezzles money from the BSC treasury" storyline would have been awesome.

I voted for Abby; Claudia was a close second.

i think claudia would skip paying dues, and i don't blame her.

Abby.

My first thought was Claudia. Think Stacey and the Missing Ring.

Claudia seems to blow whatever money she has on clothes, jewelry, and art supplies. I could see Claud being broke and then thinking to herself "Well, I'll just skip this week and make up for it next time", and then falling into a slippery slope of never paying, and falling really behind with the dues, and then the guilt would eat away at her. Heck, I could see them writing an entire BSC book around that plot.

Well she does buy the snacks for the meetings so that should count for something.

I think they'd all pay no matter what. Paying dues seems to be one of those things that's pretty automatic for them.

I think they would all be too terrified of Kristy's wrath to not pay!

I voted Claudia. She probably thinks she deserves to not pay because they eat her food all the time!

I think I would agree with her! Chocolate and gummy worms aren't cheap!

I agree about Claudia. Until recently, I never thought about how much the others take advantage of Claud's stash. I know she is nice about sharing and never complained about doing so, but still, someone could have said "thank you" and/or brought a goodie to a meeting once. Maybe each sitter could take a "week" and bring a treat. The other thing I wondered about is waste. Claudia seemed to hoard candy and other "junk food." I don't even think there was ever any mention of ziploc bags or containers for storage, just the original wrappings or box. Surely some of that stuff would not have lasted very long.

I agree that the other girls should have brought things to replenish the junk food stash. Also, there were times when Claudia would go to the Kishis' kitchen to get something that Stacey and Dawn could/would eat, so they weren't just eating her personal stash, but the family's snacks, too.

I know! That sounds like something they'd find fun; I don't know why it never happened. And wouldn't Claud's parents have seen all the candy wrappers and plastic bags in things in her trash? Did she take out her own garbage all the time?

And you're right about the thank yous, if they ever thanked her, we never read about it...there were so many times she would bring out the snacks and the reaction would be just someone holding out their hand. WTF? I think I recall Mallory doing it the most too...
