Free Stuff

[OminousCloud]

Do you go back for seconds/thirds/multiples when people are handing out free stuff? If yes, do you try and pretend you haven't gotten any in the first place?

I thought you were going to hand out something free when I saw the thread XD
For me, it depends on the situation. When I am at the mall and I see the employee of a Chinese restaurant handing out samples. At most, I usually try it once and then I do not bother. Most of the time, that platter of food has been sitting out, however if it tasted good. Now that's another story.

I do not see what shame you would feel about going back the second time? Hell, if it was good enough, I would go eat the whole sample plate and then go buy it some more.

When I am with family, man I dig in like nothing. I do not hold back. Man, I just love delicious food. Sorry I just really love it haha! XD

I just noticed this makes me sound very gluttonous lol. Oh well.

I use to do that all the time when a kid xD. I remember when I was 8 and me and my friend were trick or treating and they were giving out free donuts at Dunkin' Donuts, and I kept getting going in and out, and every time they saw me, I pretended that I was never in there. So I just kept saying "I didn't get any, this is my first one!" and they believed me, and in the end I got like 6 bags of donuts.

No.


Due to the Lovefilm employees*, pretty much anyone handing out free stuff gets ignored. And any stores that have free stuff gets ignored anyway - such as when Greggs has 'free sandwich bites', nobody gets them ... I'm also just too lazy to make it obvious that I'm taking free stuff.

 

* Lovefilm parked a truck in the middle of the town centre and spend the whole of every day trying to stop everybody to give them free vouchers and to sign up to Lovefilm. They're so annoying that people have taken to walking AROUND the town centre to go somewhere - even if they're going from the bank (left side of Lovefilm truck) to Primark (right side of truck).

And I'm ordinarily a very quiet and respectful guy when out in public ... yet I went and told these people to piss off after the tenth time in succession the same person stopped me.

Free stuff comes with a compromise, huh...

I handed out a free thread, lets weave it into some sheets!

There's a Japanese place that always gives fresh free samples. OMG. Every time I'm asked if I want some, I take a sample, and then I go buy some of the food too. That place has the best chicken I have ever tasted too.
