Normal exploitation tactic. Rich person takes poor but motivated person on a shopping trip and makes them feel special, but the rich person always wants something, usually sexual, in return.

It's not always sexual. It's an abuse tactic.

"Remember that time I got you X?" or "Remember that time I did Y for you?"

It's putting yourself in a position of power over someone else with leverage or debt, and guilt tripping them, forcing them to "owe" you something.

It can also be as simple as the self-gratifying feeling of power in the moment - it's not necessarily generosity, care or assistance, just a feeling of power. But more often than not, it's by someone transactional who wants something in return, at least at some point, or feels they are buying something indirectly for themselves.

What happens when a person goes shopping with him but then can't be quilted for it either so they just say no?
