A question about etiquette ...What to expect for a day of helping people?

The original question was what do I expect for helping someone for a day. I typically wouldn’t help someone for even a half day if they weren’t a real friend that would do the same for me or maybe someone else... so I wouldn’t expect much of anything.

Now this guy sounds like a one way street. I know some guys like that and when they ask for a favor I have some favor I need from them - this usually puts an end to things right there.
