Anderson, a city employee, collected garbage along Smyth's street on Thursday of each week. One day Smyth said to Anderson: "You have done such a good job; I will give you $10 when you come by next week." The next week, when Anderson made his regular garbage pickup for the city, he met Smyth and asked for the $10. Smyth refused to pay. The reason why Anderson would be unable to show consideration is that, as a city employee, he was already bound to collect Smyth's garbage as a part of his duty to his employer.
