Kind of like my situation. Any good B&M owner will quickly realize who and who is not a mooch. They would be a fool to alienate a good customer. The owner knows by now that when I come in, I will spend money, usually in the $15-30 range, and I say good things about his store, and I bring him customers.

One thing that bugs me is cigarette smokers who come in asking for free matches. #1, he doesn't even give matches away with purchases, he just doesn't have the custom-made matches in the shop. #2, don't mooch matches if you have no intention of purchasing anything. But he will use one of the shop lighters to give the guy a light, so he's not heartless.

Plus, I consider myself a completely different animal from the cigarette smoker and don't really enjoy the smell of cigarette smoke.
