You'd pay for gas right?

[jlt19]

I've had a friend of a friend do this for me and after the fact I sent her a $50 gift card to her favorite restaurant.

Then another friend of a friend got us tix to Universal (he didn't have to be present though) and I still sent him a $30 Amazon gift card.

So yeah, I'd pay for your gas and your time.

[readyin07]

Uhh yes I would! Regardless of what it actually costs you in gas, that is very reasonable for what they are getting in return factoring in that you will have to go into your place of work on your day off!! If they can't spend $30 in gas then I hope they were not planning on eating at the park. Seriously if my budget was that tight then i would be packing PBJs to be able to give gas money. Ugh!

Ps I am fascinated by working at Disney! What do you do if you can say?

Uh i provided what needed to be provided. I walk them in and asked for 30$ For gas. It's not like I'm asking for 60 for gas. I don't think 30 is that crazy.

Not saying the amount you're asking for is crazy.

But you didn't explain why you needed gas money in your OP.

Because I'm going out of my way for them. And I added in saving then 17$ to park but I forgot that till now. But yes the 30$ is for gas and my tolls to get there basically.

Nothing exciting, just sell you stuff. But I LOVE it. It's so much fun.

Do you have to go back to get them at the end of the day since they are not driving?


The answer has no impact on my decision, just curious

I have to drive from my house to the park and then to my other job, which I work that day but was going to walk them in as a favor before hand. And I save them 17$ to park. While yes 30$ might be a little high for gas I don't think it's crazy.

Exactly what I was getting at, lol. You're saying "$30 just to cover gas" when you mean covering gas and a little extra for your time.

Which, again, cool. Still a total bargain for them! But be upfront about it at least.

Your correct, I should have made it clearly to the board, but she knows I have to go from my home to there and then to my other job and they are opposite ends. So I'm not making that much $. The truck only gets about 13 miles a gallon lol I hate it so much.

and not for nothing, but maybe she just has a really shitty, gas guzzler car. I have to fill my tank twice a week. fucking start/stop travel is killing my gas mileage. lol.

13 miles to the gallon because I'm stuck with the truck tomorrow. Sucks balls

Oh I'm not driving them. They have to meet me outside the parking lot if they don't want to pay for parking but I have to physically walk them in.

Side note. How can parks charge 17$ to park? Mind blowing!

Lulz - the last two soccer games I went to (at Candlestick and Levi's; the old and new 49er stadiums) I paid more to park than I did for my ticket.

I Had to use the spare car a while back, got 16 miles to the gallon. I CRIED. b/c omg, i hate throwing away money like that. ugh. A friend's Hummer gets like, 8. I cannot even imagine.

Yes my car gets around 30 but my boyfriend needs it tomorrow because he has to drive far so I'm stuck with his. I want to cry.

[cheeseandcrackers]

Lol YES i'd pay for gas and then some.

[sparkythelawyer]

You don't want to know what places in downtown Chicago charge for parking.

And I don't care if Bean is using the $$ for hookers and blow. $30 for $330 worth of stuff is a deal. Shut up and pay it.

Where the hell are they going to park? Downtown Disney? (that's still free, right?)


Doesn't matter. They should cough up some gas money at least.

No they park in the lot but they have to follow me so I can tell the parking person the car behind me is with me. So they have to meet me before hand.

They work at DL? We don't get stickers. Only some people in Epcot get parking tags I believe. The rest of us show our id's and I think we can only get one car in for free

My mom worked at MGM (or whatever it's called now) for years and years. I'm sure things have changed since then.

[irishbride2]

So are we talking world or land? Because if world, I will pay you 30 any day you want. AND buy you a meal. Or whatever.

Just saying.

[gretchenindisguise]

Walk in my parents and I'll buy you a bottle of wine.

[christmastree]

Yes! I would be so grateful that I would be falling over myself trying to thank you and repay you in some way. Holy crap.

[Mrs.Rad888]

OP, you said this was a "girl that you know." So, she isn't even actually a friend? She's got some big balls asking an acquaintance to save her hundreds of dollars, then bitching about $30 for gas.

Tell her Disney isn't going anywhere, so whenever she can manage to scrape up the $30, she can text you and see if you're still willing to waste a morning escorting her into the park.

[poorpoodle]

I thought this post was gonna be about flatulence.

I would NOT pay for flatulence.

[10nille]

Let them buy their own tickets, bet that $30 would have seemed a better deal. Ungrateful people and why on earth would you waste your gas and time on them?

Wait wait, you have to tell the story of how that went down. What did you say? Did they offer to pay after all and you shot them down? Were they pissed? How good of friends are you with this person, anyway?

Where I live it takes me about 20 minutes to get to disney and 30 to my other job, I'm in the middle. But to get from disney to my other job it will take me about an hour. So I told them sorry, it will be 30$ for my gas and tolls since I'm coming out of my way to get you in and then have to drive an hour to my other job. ( which she was already aware of, I was just restating facts)

No response.

Me and her have hung out a few times, we really don't have a lot of things in common so we are basically facebook friends now. Other then that, we haven't talked in real life in months.

I'm bummed for the kids but oh well.

[dexteroni]

What an asshole! Oh well. At least it wasn't a close friendship.
