I think people should help others whenever possible without looking for a reward. That should never be your purpose for helping anyone. That being said, I also think some people expect others to help them constantly and in those cases offering something for their time even if it is making them lunch or giving them a small gift should be something you think about.

We had a discussion in our class last semester and my view was, it should not be like that. You are doing a good deed because you want to and because you believed that it was the right thing to do not because you have to.
When you expect a reward, that defeats the purpose of doing the deed.. Because you are doing it, expecting someone would notice you as a good person and give you something in return.
Just my two cents.
