"Hello, we are Those People Who Keep Pestering the Baristas for Free Food."

I'm the man who spent a few hours in the coffee shop one night up until closing, and was offered a free pastry by a barista who was cleaning up, seeing as the danish would have to be thrown out and I had been a polite customer. However, I have interpreted this gracious act as setting a precedent for all subsequent visits, rather than a one time gesture of kindness. Rather than seeing the free food as a privilege, I now believe I am entitled to a free snack, regardless of the time, the price, or how busy the establishment is at the moment.

Now I sit at the bar, close to the display of muffins and bagels, and ask the employees for something free of charge every time they open the display. I am never daunted by a reply of "No," regardless how firm, repeating my request a dozen or so times during every visit to the coffee shop. Hey, they never should have offered me something free if they can't deliver every time I come!

It's very nice to meet you.
