I wonder how I'll be paying for that.
You pay for everything "free" at a business:
Free shipping
Free bags at a retail store
Free HELCO recipes
Free phone books
It's all calculated into the final cost of the product sold.
I once had a customer howl at me because she had lost my 800 phone number.
"I had to look 20 minutes to find it!"
I replied that our phone number is listed on every invoice she receives, statements, price lists, and emails.
"But that's not the free number!"
It would have cost her a nickle to call me on the business line, instead of 20 minutes in time searching so she could get a "free" call.
Free is almost never free.
Maybe the little 1"x1" samples at Costco. Until you walk past the 60" TV on sale, and buy one. Or two.
You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.
