i witnessed with my own 2 eyes a dummy who walks into a store full of lighters, he shops around than asks the cashier if there's a way he can get a sample of one of them..... ROTFLMAO!!!! i litteraly laughed at him and walked outside gagging from no air to my lungs.

You can't light up in the store, you can't come back in with a lit cigarette, how were you planning to return it?

They're not Just like when one "borrows" a cig or a piece of notebook paper.

Hey I resent that I returned my friend's piece of notebook paper when I was done with it. It flew at him (paper airplane) nicely

I can't get over that "borrow" one thing. Ummm, it's illegal to be inside with a lit cigarette. You can't light up in the store, you can't come back in with a lit cigarette, how were you planning to return it?

Oh, even I, the Lifelong NonSmoker, can answer that. You borrow lighter, go outside, light up cigarette, smoke it, finish it, then go back inside to return lighter.

I've seen it done before many times.

I bet they stopped offering the matches because of how much money it cost to provide them.

It cost us $45 for a bag of matches, 100 to a box, I think 100 to a bag. And we were giving them away for free. So yes, lots of money being lost right there. Besides, people can buy cheapie 2 packs of lighters for a buck and a dime.

Actually, as I understand it, most places stopped doing the free matches because of silly ideas about how giving away matches encourages people to smoke, or some such.

And the cost of the matches is more than made up by the extra people who will drive out of their way, wasting time and gas, to get their cigs at the place that gives away matches. People can be stupid cheap sometimes.

whoa are people really doing that? Are they really that cheap??

See above.

What amazes me is the number of people who will come in and ask for a book of matches without buying anything. Once I refused a repeat offender (who also had a habit of using our microwave and bathroom), and she proceeded to ask a customer on his way in for a light. He gave her one, unfortunately.

Probably because they lose them. I know that anything I lose a lot (pens), I never lay out decent money for a good version

Couldn't resist.

I have never smoked, and yet I keep ending up with women who do. Go figger.

Face it J, you like SMOKIN' (said in a Jim Carrey voice) women

[Jester]

I DO like smokin' women. I just am not particularly fond of when women I'm with smoke.

My father, a lifelong smoker, had a little sign that he would put up from time to time, and it eventually made it into his book: "Kissing a smoker is like licking a dirty ashtry. YUCK!"

And yes, there is a difference. Just like I don't smoke. But face it....I AM smooookkkkkiiiiinnnnn'!
