The cheapest coke, and chips we have are 39 Cents for 1,5l coke or 45 Cents for a 500g bag of chips. He gets 50cents cash and buys one of those.

If it is SOOOOOOOOOO important for this kid to do anything for the sake of self gratification what does it matter how much he gets paid? The reward is more than the money...

You crossposted with me, so I edited to clarify I meant Feephi.

You can resume your abuse of Ming and rah any time.
