$60 per hour to answer survey questions

Unfortunately it took five minutes so I only made $5. Earlier in the week I had stopped for gas on my way to work when from the adjoining store a guy with a clipboard approached me and asked if I could spare a few minutes to take a survey after which he'd give me five dollars. I wasn't in a big hurry so I agreed. Five bucks more than covers a couple of afternoon coffees this week. The survey overall pertained to my perceptions of the oil company that provides the gas I was buying. Other than the general basic age, zip code type things the questions went into the type of news sources I utilized and what I thought of the oil company, their services and whether I thought well of what they do for improving the environment. Heck, they're an giant oil company - they do what they do and we buy the product. So I went along with it, kind of enjoyed the attention answering the questions then went abouts my business.
