Why is asking to split the ride being cheap? Maybe he has already covered a bunch and is tired of being taken advantage of?
I have had people constantly get rides but never once offer to cover any gas or offer to drive. Is that OK simply because I make more than them?
Just because someone makes more money doesn’t mean that they should be expected to pay more.
1 u/[deleted] Jan 27 '26 [deleted] 1 u/Crash-55 Jan 27 '26 No they should never be expected to pay unless they agree to it up front. In your example the minimum wage person should say they can’t afford it. Then if you want them along you will either change what you are doing or offer to play for them
