Money Moral Dilemma: Should I ask my boss to pay up for carpooling?

Hi....im the person who sent this in. Thanks to those taking the time to write a considered response.
To those who have more questions.....
I actually wrote in on behalf of my boyfriend. He doesn't really use the internet much and I'm the msefan.
He is 40 and gets minimum wage. His boss is a similar age and gets £12 per hour.
It's 4 miles extra a day and happens around 4 times a week.
His boss isn't the business owner so has no influence over boyfriend's wages or promotions. But can control his shifts and hours.
He has never offered to pay anything ever.
It's been almost a year.

Exactly!! I wondered if these MMD’s were mostly from people to afraid to post or to afraid to have their posting history snooped through. There is just not enough information.

They lost me at the use of the word ‘Obviously’ to be fair, how is it obvious their boss earns more then they do - hell where I am now the Team Leader isn’t on much more I think there is just under 2k difference, same when I worked in a hotel when my conference mgr made it clear she did the job above for me 14k (pre 2012) because her husband ultimately kept her and she ‘got to do’ the job much for the love.

I’m sorry if this is genuine, I’m imagining two early twenty-somethings in a car, incapable of speaking to one another. Never in 20 years of work has a manager asked for a free of charge lift.

I have written a response to these questions

Have you not realised yet that nobody enjoys them then?

Far more interesting than people moaning/whinging about the moral dilemma. Have you not realised that those sorts of comments are extremely tedious? If you don't like it, just don't post. Nobody's interested in an opinion of the moral dilemma theme.

OP: Ask him to give you a lift on a few occasions.
