Sometimes the person who is in charge makes the dinner but that's not my style. You still chip in $5 even if they cook it. LOL. I don't really mind that we do it this way if everyone pays me when it's my turn HAHA. And the additional backstory is the time the two people didn't pay me - I already had already agreed to do a second time because someone didn't even take a first turn. I was going to make someone else ask that person to take their first turn but then their spouse was out of town that week and their 3 kids are younger than my 3 kids so I just said F-it, we don't have to bother her, I can do it a second time. LOL.

Then you’re getting a bargain. A well-cooked meal takes time, which is a precious commodity. Far cheaper to grab junk from a fast-food drive-through.

That’s probably why they didn’t pay you, because you’re taking the lazy route.

Well I think 5/7 did the lazy route. Including the person who didn’t pay me who got McDonalds today.

Maybe they aren't paying because they are annoyed by your meal choice.

This was also not set up as a gourmet group dinner for 8 year olds. It was set up as takeout happy meals.

Don't make a drama of $5, especially when you didn't mention it right away.
And it happened only once. Let it go. I would only say something if she does it repetitively.
