Here's some for free, kid. Really.

Oh, you're back? You liked that? Well, here's some more and a few for your friends. You're welcome.

Hi. Sorry, I don't have any samples. Do you have $5? No? Oh well.

Back again? Ah, yes, $5. Here ya go.

My costs have gone up. It's $10 now. Thank you, have a nice day. See you tomorrow.
