Picture it like this: you walk through a grocery store and there's some girl handing out free samples of assorted cookies. You see person after person walk past her, only to see her accost them and offer free cookies. A lot of people take them (especially the best ones from the variety pack), but nobody buys a package. Then you file past on your way to the cheese aisle and she flags you down.
You turn your attention toward her and she holds out her tray of picked-over cookies. The best ones are gone entirely and the ones left are crumbled, and she asks if you want to buy the contents of the tray. You ask if you can sample them before you make a decision. She says no, she's tired of handing out samples and wants a buyer... she's not giving out free samples any more: her shift is over and she hasn't made any sales. You ask if you'll get some of the good ones from the assortment, but she says those are all gone and she's not going to get any more of them out: you have to take her offering as-is.
You ask about the price: is there a discount now that the package has been opened and all the best ones are gone? She says that the price is the same... you're buying the package. You shake your head and walk away. As you do you hear her cry aloud,
"Where are all the good customers?"
