But is it rude for someone to not monetarily reward you for doing something good? That's what I was replying to up-thread. To feel you deserve compensation for a good deed when there was no prior agreement as such is indeed entitlement.
This thread hasn't really been about the article for a while. It's been about someone feeling that people that don't reward for good deeds are greedy assholes, which I think sets a bad precedent. If you want to incentivize fine, but let's not confuse that with what the right thing to do is.
How about a moral obligation? Honestly, it sounds like if a taxi driver returns a bag full of cash to the owner, it is perfectlly alright if they just say "Thank you" and walk him to the road. Legally: nothing wrong, morally: being a greedy asshole.
