When we got to the ramp, he offered no *thank you* but a "what do I owe
you"?
A thank you would have sufficed, I guess that's what he meant.

I tow people up the Estero River a lot. "What do I owe you" is the
normal response and they sometimes offer money before we even start
the tow.
They probably know the tow pirate will charge them a couple hundred,
if he will even try coming up the river. Those inboards they run
around here might have trouble in low water.
My answer is always "tow me if you see me broke down".
I do get a lot of smiles and waves when I see them again. Hopefully if
I ever do break down one of my "towees" will happen by.

Yeah, that's sort of the price I extract, except I usually tell them to
help the next guy who needs it.
