I'm M26 and I work at a small restaurant with Lory F23 that always gets by by doing the bare minimum at work. She's always been a problematic person and all people that worked here had complained about her always slacking. When reprimanded she'll do actual work for a few days then find an excuse to not do the most basic things.

On Sunday I came to work 30 min before her shift ends, found her sitting and asked if she's had lot's of work, which she responded "No, mostly in the morning", there were no customers at the time so we started chatting, then customers came in and eventually she left. During my very busy Sunday shift I:

• Found 2 of the bowls we use for the batter dirty on the sink, having to get another one from storage and transfer the gluten free batter for immediate use as customers were waiting.
• Had to clean and sanitize all surfaces including the floor because of course she wouldn't budge
• Eventually wash the utensils she left and even found a few from the night before which makes me think she never washed anything at all during her shift
• Had to rush to prepare batter on the 10 free minutes I had because there was none left and of course spilled some on the counter because there were clients already wanting to order, which meant I couldn't clean for a while
• Had to change the trash bags twice because she never did
• Served 3.5 more dishes than her in her shift
• Served customers up to 10 min before closing time which means 20 min before the las subway home
• Tried my best to tidy up in what little time I had left

I didn't want to miss the subway so left only the floors and the last utensils I used for her to clean in the morning, I've destroyed my sleep schedule for working night shifts only and today is my only day off so I didn't want to come home at 3am because I came out at 1am after cleaning everything, lost the subway and had to take the bus and go to bed at 5am again.

Mind you it's been almost the same for the last 2 years she's been with us. I'd normally stay and tidy up everything because I have respect for other people's shift but I've been suffering from arthritis on my hands for the last 2 months so I feel like i really can't keep up the rhythm as before.

This morning she texted me:

"Hey [name], I understand that maybe during closing one might be tired, but at least wash what will be used immediately the next day; I am referring to the spatulas and the water container. Everything else is fine, but at least wash what will be used right away the next day, please. At least give the floor a sweep and leave the water ready for the next day, that's all, please "

I'm absolutely out of words... WIBTA if I reply with the same energy and list her all things she needs to do, stop giving weekends off and basically ending any friendship with her? Is there even another way to make her understand the situation and get her to actually do something or better just hope she eventually leaves?
