But really, if limits for free samples are never explicitly set, and there's no one around to say how many is enough, how can a customer be confronted about taking too many?
It is so sad that this is where were are as a society. I know that the use of words like fair, reasonable and commonsense draw ridicule on this and other boards, but really! Commonsense should dictate how many/much is enough. A sense of fairness should guide one's action. The "reasonable" person measure should be an indicator of appropriate limits.
I am not going to get into an argument over these words with anyone. If you don't know what is reasonable; if you can not fathom what is fair; if commonsense needs to be precisely defined for you, then so be it.
This actually saddens me a little. Just like it saddens me a little that some advertisements explicitly mention that one doesn't get the pictured smartphone in addition to the smartphone case being advertised for USD$35.00!
