Ditto with the bakery we go to as well. Free cookie to every kid under the age of 8 or so. Kids are happy and the parents are impressed enough to keep coming back, which explains why these folks have managed to stay in profits for about forty years. Great publicity, costs them next to nothing out of the volume of treats they make, and customers are guaranteed to come back.
You're either counting pennies and being an asshole with Ebenezer Scrooge, or you're not. There's not much grey area in between.

this where penny wise pound foolish is really demonstrated. Anyone with any business savvy knows you have to spend money to make it. We got a shitload of free stuff from the dealership in December when we bought our new truck....hats and sweatshirts. They spent maybe $100, but we spent about 60 K in the end
60 K! You really mean that you took it up the end!

heated leather is nice on long trips. We figured we could afford it, so what the hell. It takes you forever to get anywhere up here so you ay as well be comfortable driving

I'd kill to buy one of those Ford Raptor truck packages. About the best looking truck I've ever seen and probably worth every penny too in terms of looks and intimidation value. Too bad I don't have my own pipeline to fuel one of the fuckers though. Hog-hog-hog-hog-HOG!

Isn't the big key to it is that she lied to her boss about it to immediately after, saying that said individual did pay, when he did not? Sure she fessed up to it the next day, but, yeah, I'm not really going to trust somebody who lied straight to my face, even if they apologize about it afterward.
Edit: Put it this way, I've had tenants lie straight to my face, and after that moment, I never trusted them again, and if it was in my power, I would have found the first reason to get rid of them. I don't care if they admit to it later, that trust is incredibly damaged in a business relationship.

I worked at 7-11 for about 2 years and giving away coffee was no big deal. We didn't dump that much coffee due to high valume of customers but enough for me to question why. I was told because of 7-11's freshness policy. We had a taxi driver come in every night and buy a cup of coffee he would sit outside and drink half of it then come back in and say it was stale and wanted another cup free. So one night I timed it and told him that I had just made the coffee less then 30 minutes ago. What I did notice was that he did not put our creamer into the coffee but his own that he kept in his taxi. 
The only issue I have with the lady is that she lied about the man paying. I wish she had just looked at her boss and said that she had given the coffee to him.
