MS MOOCHERS: Family complains about a lack of shops!!!

Sounds very familiar but I get it from all the males in my family. "Where are all the goodies from the do-it-yourself store?" Sorry guys but someone else is getting all the shops now. They really miss all those paint brushes, screws and miscellaneous plumbing supplies.
For FF shops, I don't want to eat all the food. (I am on a diet on one a site where you put down money and get it back plus some if you lose a certain amount of weight - earn money any way you can!) So, I take a taste and give the rest to my children when I get home. There are 7 of them that covet the fast food, so I have to do it by turns! They get a little anxious for me to do those shops!
My kids are upset because I stopped doing Arch shops. I would take a taste of the food and bring the rest home. Sometimes I would add a Wendy's or Subway and have a little buffet for the kids. My 14 year old want's me to get her started so she can get some of the freebies too.

Welcome to my life.....
I get all of those and now, my Dad.... "Hey, when are we going golfing again?"
Let's all keep in mind that my Dad and I golf 2x's a week at the course we are members at and HE works at a golf course and gets free golf for the both of us.
I just recently started doing golf course shops and golf merchandise shops, my father has got every gadget known to the golf world in his bag...
I wouldn't trade it for anything!!!

My college son loves the gas shops (free candy bars) and the USPS shops. One week I sent him 7 boxes of goodies. I'm pretty popular with the roommates too.
Grand baby also loves the gas shops because she gets cool juices and snacks... LOL

Yeah, when I'm out doing gas shops, I keep a big box in my back seat to load all the 2 liter sodas in so they don't bounce around in the back of my car. Drinks for family dinnertime are covered!

I sent my Mom and Dad a bunch of candy for Easter for the USPS shops! I have also sent pasta, cereal, Valentine's candy, etc. I mostly send things to them because I can remember their address without looking it up.
I sent oatmeal to my daughter, but it leaked out of the package. Should I have not cooked it before I sent it?

No moochers in my family because I don't tell them what I do. That takes care of that issue. As for the freebies, if I don't use them, I will give them away to homeless people. I used to give them pizza but I don't do those shops anymore and I don't do FF shops. I would rather give them a bottle of water or Gatorade or food than money that may be used on cigarettes, alcohol or drugs. Most of them are quite appreciative.

Not that there's anything wrong with cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs.

I don't have moochers because I don't do a lot of shops that require a purchase except for gas stations. You think I'm giving up my candy?!?!?!

Hubby loves the restaurant shops but we could do twice as many if he was willing to sign up and write some reports himself. He's willing to sign up alright but wants me to do his reports for him...ain't happening, sweetheart! Do your own shops if you want to eat out that badly!

Unless you are the Health Care Personnel whom is elected to take care of the cigarette smoker whom has just had a stroke or a heart attack; or the ETOH-a-lic whom has come into the hospital and you are told to watch for DTs; or the drug abuser whom wants to get combative with his health personnel because he is having a drug reaction with Narcan.
Perhaps you have never suffered from the ill effects of the bad vices some of us have chosen but we don't live in a blind world.

Perhaps you missed the fact it was a joke.

Your have put 'yourself' in a bad situation by letting the community know what you do. That was your first mistake.
I used to take my Mom to the casino. She played, I worked and she loved that we were "spending time together." I quit for a while because of the cigarette smoke, but when they outlawed smoking in public places in my state, she was very happy to go back with me! She did ask about them during the hiatus.
My daughter and her roommates enjoyed the final exam care package I sent with all the Snickers bars I got from gas station shops. Now they don't want me bringing candy in the house.

I do quite a few bonused fast food shops, and my son loves it when I bring home leftovers.
I do a lot of banks. They don't give out samples.
Now THAT would be be a great free sample!

They do give out free coffee if you are waiting (at least the blue banks do) and they usually have mints. My son always wants the candy from the bank shops when I get home.

@rsglenn: My car desperately needs an oil change and there are NONE to be had from ANY MSC in my area for love or money... Ah, sad.
I like the dum dums from the blue bank shops. Dum dums and free coffee...I do several, and my car always has lollipops in the console for friends and family! And I never ever feel wierd about being a grown up and taking a couple. That's what they are there for! Nom nom nom!

Some banks give out stuff though! I was doing a bank in a very rural location. One of those places where someone who doesn't live there sticks out like a sore thumb. I do the teller part, got referred over to the banker, and when I came out of the banker's office they tellers had put together a goody bag with practically anything you can think of to put a bank logo on. Pens, notepads, huge clips with magnets on the back (what are those things called anyway?), coffee mugs. The only thing I didn't get was a t-shirt. I was kinda pissed about that! I look at it fondly as the first time I was bribed for a good report.

And money! The blue banks in my area send out mailers with different amounts of money they'll add to your new checking account. ("Some restrictions apply....."
