I think you just summed up all 200+ posts.

Expecting someone to give you a certain amount of money for something that wasn't arranged before you gave them said thing is silly, whether it's food or not.

If I do something for someone (fix their computer, for example), I'd be silliness for me to expect them to pay me a certain amount, just because of an implicit social rule. I should've pre-arranged payment if I'm going to be upset for not being paid, or not being paid enough.
