Trust me, greed isn't confined to the walls of TV. When I was in corporate world we trained adult Girl Scout leaders on how to lead and motivate girls. Some of the Girl Scout councils I worked with would have giveaways at the end of the training sessions . . . pens, note pads, candy, the usual swag bag junk. A small percentage of these grown women would rake armfuls of the freebies into their purses, bags, whatever. These are the same women that volunteered to help make our Girl Scouts into productive members of society.

When I worked in another department for the same company, I saw similar behavior from a small percentage of well-dressed men in suits attending corporate conventions. They would literally walk the rows of these huge convention centers filling their bags with freebies, most of which was complete crap.

It is just human nature. To some people, if it is free, give me three! For others, if it is free, they are almost certain not to need it. I fall squarely in the latter category. I do not need one more item to take up space.
