This is a good example of why I don't go to malls.

Old people man, I swear some feel they are entitled to that chicken sammitch sample...why didn't they just buy one and call it a day??

What's up with the idiot sampler yelling at the old lady?
It is their job to hand this stuff out. Stingy biatch.

Old people like this woman annoy me.

It's a free sample. If the server tells you that they're not going to give you another one, then that's too bad. Deal with it.

BloodyL - Those servers represent the product's
company they are distrbuting. It is a bad move to yell at
potential consumers of that product. Especially old ladies
that might be spending quite a bit of time at the mall
where you distribute your product. Let them have another
with a smile on your face. Most demo companies would can
that rep immediately if hey heard they raised their voice to
a customer.

I would fire the sample giver first, then give them free sammiches for a year. Cheezus, what an idiot.

The food doesn't taste good, the the portions are small as well.

If it's free, don't EVER freakin' complain that it's not enough. Looking a gift horse in the mouth is incredibly obnoxious.

I would say more, but I have to go back to screaming at Kazaa because my downloads keep cancelling.

I agree that, because denying a customer what they want (regardless of how simple or extravagant) is almost certainly going to reflect poorly on any company, the server should not have denied the lady a second free sample, but if the server refuses to give a customer one (especially after already having done so), then the customer needs to have a free sample of STFU.

Jean Coleman yelled at the employee. She caused a scene and was a disruptive shopper, and if a mall deals with such problems by bannination for a year, then she should have to accept that punishment. The last thing the mall wants is her returning and causing another scene at J.C. Penny because she didn't get a second (free) spritz of the latest perfume, or by the play are because she didn't get a second (free) balloon on "bring your grandchild to the mall" day.

"play are" should be "play area."

Put some *LIQUID* laxative in another sample and give her all the free samples that she wants.

did they "Shoot to Grill?"

/nothin

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

WOW! I live like 2 miles away from this...sad.

"Lay off man, I'm starving!"

Sample nazi!

It wasn't over the chicken, she was scaring children away from the Disney Store across from the food court.

YIKES!

Old people are good for nothing

Uhm, just to make it clear to those who did not RTFA, the sample lady shouted first.

0ok

AKICKDOE!:
It's a farking dead horse.. Stop it!

I would like five pieces of your delicious chicken nugget samples, a hot bun with mayo, and a cup of water, please.

Already been said, but
1) Stupid of the server to yell at the lady instead of giving a second sample
2) Stupid of the old bag to make a huge scene about a free sample.

"I'm Jean Coleman, biatch !"

I love how the mall owner's spokeswoman admitted she knew nothing about the incident but felt that she still knew enough to call the server a "silly kid."

Sounds like we got one side of the story, at which everyone except the two angry old ladies is portrayed as inexplicably hostile. To top it off they get to take swipes at the restaurant, to which if they ever paid for a meal I'm sure they'd leave a generous tip.

NO Chicken For You!!

And so began the end of free samples. Thanks to the posters that have an enlightened sense of entitlement and are defending the old bag.

I don't like old people -- they smell funny.

Rib Joint Customer: How much for a soda?

Hammer: One dollar.

Rib Joint Customer: Okay, how about you give me a sip for fifteen cents?

Hammer: My cups cost more than fifteen cents!

Rib Joint Customer: Okay, fark the cup, how about you just pour it in my hands for a dime?

When Jean Coleman wants to be heard, we listen. Ughh.

Anyone else hear banjos?

quit picking on northeast ohio. some of us have to live here, damnit.

yeah, everyone's a dumbass in this story.

For some reason I have trouble believing that everyone was "out to get" this lady and her sister.

Sounds like the paper is playing this up and twisting the facts to me.

You got change for a hunna'd?

Actually, even shoplifting isn't sufficient misconduct to cause a customer to be banned from shopping for a year, said Summit Mall Manager John Vavrus.

``If something happens in a store,'' he said, ``it's usually between the tenant and the customer.''

Shoplifters aren't customers.

skinink LMFAO!

Agnosto What was that about? Wilbon didn't die did he?

Now where will they power-walk?

Anyone who has ever been to a Costco giving out free samples learns real fast not to get between a biatch and her free food. Talk about lemmings. And don't forget the camping, they block the friggin aisle with their cart and take forever to move...

we only have the old wrinkled lady's word to go on that the sample person yelled first.

If Lemmy had a maw, I bet this is what she looks like.

OK, here's some handy phrases you might want to write down, as they are fast disappearing from the American lexicon:

"Please"
"Thank You"
"Excuse me"
"I'm Sorry"
"That's all right"
"No, it was my fault"

They sometimes work wonders. And even when they don't, you still have the ability to just WALK AWAY without creating a thermonuclear incident. I mean, its a free sample for crying out loud.

Old people make a big stink about anything that is supposed to be free.

When i worked at a perkins many years ago, I used to routinly see old people open up their purses and dump in the jelly containers, sugar packets, salt and papper shakers, and sometimes even silverware.
