It appears to be human nature doesn't it.
I remember a token for a free bar of chocolate was printed in a newspaper ages ago and you had to go to W.H. Smith to collect it. The queue was ridiculous.
If anything is free there will always be somebody prepared to get hold of it, whether they need it or not!!

A friend was telling me on the weekend that one of the women she manages at work has recently been constantly late for work. When asked about this, the reply came back "I have to stop at Waitrose for my free coffee and there's usually a queue" 
.
Friend then thought but hang on a sec, there's no Waitrose between here and the Tube station, checked it out and it transpires that this woman not only is prepared to wait in a queue, but also walks out of her way to get to a Waitrose to get the free coffee. And thinks it's okay to then be late for work.
Waitrose have now started home delivery in my area before that I used Ocado for quite some time I found a lot of their BOGOF offers right on the sell by date and needed to be used asap.
I wonder if my delivery man will supply me with a free coffee when I take delivery of my next order
