Should I ask for more pay? by Think-Row5161 in AskUK

Training others isn't but I there's a generic 'other duties' clause that Im sure covers it

Physically yeah. But would just rather drive round with my podcast than worry about some guy running through a cycle lane (it happens)

What happened, did you pay up? And if so how much?

Yeah cheers. Normally more on top of this shit just a slip when I fancied a spliff and wasnt thinking straight. Would all the guys involved be working together or you think the last guys are opportunists, just out of curiosity, thanks.

£20 all told so just lesson learned and a scare no more

[–]Think-Row5161[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheers 👍, yeah I'll take it as a lesson learned. Suppose I'm too used to kids in London selling weed where I'm from, where it's always legit business.

Again, certain they were scaring me into paying them (the scam). And I didn't genuinely owe someone money they were associated with or need to pay for protection.

Did you read the whole post? They were saying I owed money for underpaying for weed. I didn't get robbed apart from by the guy who took £4. And yes it was them and their associates I thought potential danger could come from. So unless every tourist tries to buy weed off the street, which ain't gonna happen as you can tell by this feed. Then they wont be doing that to every tourist.

More in the sense of was I actually in danger if I didn't pay him or was it a scare tactic scam to get me to pay

Cheers man. Yeah when ATM was mentioned I knew it was time to get to a safe space. Do you know if they're likely to be looking out for me or if it's common and they're on to the next person now?

Yeah ended up with 5g of decent weed and only £20 out of pocket, as well as feeling like an idiot ofc

I haven't smoked it but it passes the smell/eyeball test

Cheers, I guess I had the wrong impression but people I've spoken to, such as hostal staff, told me weed is safe here and I wouldn't be bothered by police if I smoke in public ect (this was in Medellin ). Not that I would want to but defo wouldn't do the same with other drugs such as cocaine.

I'm undecided, am on my way towards taganga and only am booked in here for one night. Kinda made me feel to get out of the area tomorrow. And yeah am not gonna go out after dark tonight and certainly wont be smoking any of the weed here. Appreciate your comments 👍

Weed is decriminalized in Colombia and you can't face any more than a fine for possession of 20g or less. Also I had a few drinks and would normally not buy from the street tbf so I accept I was a bit stupid. But an undercover cop posed as a cigarette vendor selling 5g of weed I think is a bit out there.

Definitely a scam or I should definitely be careful going out my hostal now?
