I see you figured out most of the retainer stuff. You pay them in venture tokens – which are a currency you can get more from from local "leve-quests" in most towns – or from the Grand Company with their currency – When on assignment they do allow you to get your stuff like you saw, they just comment on you bothering them.
As for if you pay them – lore-wise – when you can hire another (you get 2 for free) – Try an Au Ra female – Carefree demeanor – Each race and gender has different text when you call them. Au Ra females – Carefree tend to have the best dialogue along the lines of "Okay, I'll do it! Ill rob the… er… what you said!" so you know exactly what they're doing to get you your "stuff"
In anycase, welcome to the game, I hope you're having an absolute blast! 😀
Loving your uploads Tony
