These are the type of people that I hope I am friends with never. Some people are just going to bitch and moan and exploit every corporate leak to their benefit. Like the customer-friendly Costco return policy.

Does anyone remember that show "American Casino" set at Green Valley Ranch? There was an episode where they were giving away something, no strings attached. It was nice, like a legit $50 value, but I can't remember what it was.

Anyway, their idea was to get folks into the casino where they could spend money, although hey, if they leave that's fine too, maybe they'll come back another time. But so many people who were taking advantage of the freebies were obviously such bottom-feeder coupon-cutting leeches that I doubt they got their ROI on it. Here's this place, handing out something nice and they set up this elaborate party-like display, and almost everyone who took advantage of it just walked up like a zombie, took the freebie without any eye contact or a "thank you", and left. Ugh those type of people bug me so much.

On that note, at the casino where I play they were giving away free throw blanket things. Value was about $5. People lined up for about 1/2 mile down the hill in their cars to get one. This was when gas was pretty high also. So god knows how much they spent in time and gas to go get their 'free' crap.

It was kinda funny to see the line of people. Many of whom fit the description you gave above. The Zombies...LOL
