[Blindtlk] Paying Drivers? How to figure

[justin williams]

I would almost rather the individual take payment; it makes the relationship even.

There are indeed those who will not take payment.  When I was in Florida, there were people from my church who I got to be real good friends with who would not only bring me to church but to and from choir practice, and absolutely refused to take any payment.  I don't think they were insulted, they were appreciative that I offered, but they just did it out of kindness. 
There were a lot of good people like that at my Florida church.  Now, I have a neighbor who brings me to do errands, and she and her husband accept gas money and I will take them to breakfast or lunch, but they are more than fair.  They charge me $10 to take me shopping in town, and whatever else I have to do in town, the charge stays the same.  now, if I have to go further afield, like to the airport in Presque Isle, they will charge me more, but again, they go above and beyond and they are more than reasonable.

There are those who will not take payment. I have a friend whom I pay whenever I can. I often pay them way more than they really want to accept; then the next time I am riding with them, they won't take payment. And as many have pointed out, there are many ways you can pay. There is someone here whom I know who was paying a ride to chapter meetings by washing the car a couple of times a year for them and maybe a couple of other things, too.
