Welcome to capitalism! Have a capitalistic day!

So I've only had one customer before who asked to get something for free, and as I recall the conversation went something like this--

Customer: Can I get that for free?
Sarah: Nope. :D
Customer: Are you suuuure?
Sarah: Yep. :D
Customer: ... Oh.

But today! A customer ordered a salad and so I gave him his package of dressing.

Customer: Can I have another dressing?
Sarah: Sure, that'll be fifty-nine cents.
Customer: Really? I don't want to use my Internet* again.
Sarah: Okay. [clears the till screen]
[pause]
Customer: You know, you could give it to me for free. It won't kill you.
Sarah: My manager is standing right behind me.
Customer: I'll ask her, then. [louder] Can I have another dressing?
Manager: Sure, that'll be fifty-nine cents.
Customer: I'm not going to use my Internet again.
Manager: Okay. [goes back to what she was doing]
[pause]
Customer: Could I have some napkins?
Sarah: There are two on your tray. Would you like some more?
Customer: I'd rather have my dressing. [leaves]

I GET SUCH A HUGE KICK OUT OF THIS

* He meant "Interac," the debit card thing. But what a bizarre confusion!

What did the first one want for free? A.

I don't remember. It was like his whole order or something. I think he was younger than me. :p The second one was much older. :p

At work, the only thing we charge extra for is icing. But a) I can never remember how much and b) no one ever does. So really, we don't have this problem. A.

Mebbe he meant that he didn't want to go to the trouble of emailing your head office to ask for another package of dressing. Hawww!! I'm too funny!
