Sure, it's just that one never knows who they're talking to. In retail, better safe than sorry.

 

 


That's fair. One does have to take the fact that they want people to spend their money into consideration. But truthfully, have you ever handed someone a chocolate, said "this one is free, then you'll be hooked" and that person was distraught and offended that you would say such a thing? Part of my problem with some aspects of political correctness is that we've begun assuming offense on behalf of others and then taking action to beat it into submission without even knowing if anybody was actually offended in the first place.
