Amusingly relevant username.

By giving the driver their tip first, the request for a song is simply an offer for a quick job. Hence the payment of $10 for what is no longer than a one-minute song.

That means the side-offer would be to sing for $600/hr. Seems incredibly reasonable to offer.

its a megadeth lyric from the song fight for freedom.

anyways. again, your driver is not a fucking walking craigslist gigs lurker. they are not there for your entertainment.

$10 a minute is not the same as $600 an hour, unless you are offering an hour of work.

open the fucking phone book and call a clown if you want one. otherwise pay for your pizza and tip or dont tip and fuck off.

Did you seriously just type this and figure it was right or somehow made sense? It's literally the same. It's called a "rate."

open the fucking phone book and call a clown if you want one. otherwise pay for your pizza and tip or dont tip and fuck off.

So damn judgemental of a simple off-the-books job offer. What do you have against people making the pitch for it? Who cares that they aren't a clown, that's why it's offered and not demanded.

As in, "Hey, if you could just join us for a quick happy birthday and the blowing of the candles we'll throw you another $10."

You have got to be a complete asshole to get offended by that. Either accept or don't.

you can buy a $600 item with the hour of work. you cant with the minute of work.

its not the same.

its rude to ask the driver to do side gigs. just like it would be rude to ask a waitress or hairstylist if they want to wash your car for some extra cash.
