Quick, how much should I pay my friend for this?

A friend offered to fix my toilet. He’s taking out a part in the tank, then we’re going to Lowe’s to get the replacement, and also to get a new toilet seat, and then we’re coming back and he’s replacing the part and the seat. He’s already started working on it. Shouldn’t take more that 30-40 minutes of him working on the toilet I don’t think.

What’s a good amount to pay him for it? He said that I didn’t need to pay him but I said I would. Don’t have to pay him as much as a plumber but I want to make it worth his time, also he doesn’t have a lot of money and I want to help him out a bit.

$100 seems fair

@FeelingItAll honestly if I had more money I would give him that much but I’m kinda living off disability at the moment. Do you think like $50 would still make it worth his time?

@Zeuro That seems very fair between friends

@Muthafukajones @Zeuro sorry I wasn’t around to respond. Absolutely. That’s perfectly fine

You could follow it up another time with like an Irish Tea Cake or something like that. Very inexpensive and easy to make. Not much time at all and he’ll love it

@Zeuro did he accept the $50?

@come2gether yes, he did, though when he saw the amount I sent him on cashapp he was like “are you sure?”
