[The few times on Jakku that Rey allowed anyone to help her, they went pretty terribly wrong. There's no forgetting Strunk and Devi tricking her into trusting them after six months of working together to restore and repair a broken down star freighter and then watching them fly it away as she left it in their care to go negotiate a price for it, and it's just one of many things that diminished Rey's faith in the goodness of people in general.
The worst part, though, is that even still she has hope. Hope that the few people she's chosen lately to let into her life won't do the same, hope that strangers, people like Nott, won't always be terrible.
Maybe, at some point, she'll run across people who don't only think of themselves.]
I don't think you'll need a tip when it's time to go, so just be ready.
[She stands up tall again, and her grip on her staff doesn't loosen. Instead she holds it out too far as she turns to look over things, a few different robots here or there, and the little robotic porg decides that rather than follow her it wants to peck at Nott's shoe, trying to find a reason it fell it over.
Not seconds later Rey has caught a display of what seems to be replacement power sources with the end of her staff, perfectly angled far from Nott and the exit, and she pulls the entire thing over while making it look like a total accident.
