"Jack". That's some how a familiar term. I should google
that.

Just pay it forward. Do someone else a favor, and it will
come around later. He's already refused money, I think it's
bad manners to insist.

That could be for any number of reasons.
See how long he's there working for and do him a favor of
similar
magnitude sometime.

I would give them either a $100 gift certificate to a restaurant you know
they like, or a $100 gift cert for the family at WalMart or another
department store where they shop. Cash is always nice, but with the gift
cert, they can all go get something each.

The cost of the job is not the issue. Paying back a favor is. Drop
by his house with a couple of huge-ass steaks and a bottle of really
nice wine, and say you were going to cook them up but something came
up and they're going to go to waste, so if he could help you out and
take them off of your hands you'd greatly appreciate it.

But why on earth make up the lame story, though? Just give 'em the
'thank you' in appreciation...
