What? Seriously?

That’s crazy. I would never help someone and expect a thing in return. Not even a thank you.

I just don’t give it another thought.

One example:
Recipients of any commodities provided through the bishop are provided with opportunities to work, to the extent of their ability, in return for the items they receive. Assignments may include cleaning a meetinghouse or being of service to someone else who needs help. This gives the recipients a sense of ownership and accomplishment as well as an opportunity to give back.

An interesting example:
How are the Mormons able to provide such a service? First, because the service is normally only available to members, they can provide more for each person.
