My father, may he rest in peace, said all too many times, “There is no free lunch!”
So when ever I get a pop-up, ordering me to get a free download, I look in my wallet and see there is no money.
I delete the advertisement and move on!!

Based upon your Chinese restaurant menu experience, i.e. menu download for $24, maybe free download is welcome in some instances. 😊
That was actually a different site offering pictures of menus. Crazy idea.

Well, for me, the third time was a charm. I’m a slow (and poorer) learner.

Yes, I used to offer " free" delivery on my structural steel orders, but you know I buried an extra $165.00 in the profit on the order just because you didn't tell me & I went ahead and charged you... 😉 Never believe in "free" delivery. We even had a line we could put on the order that said "free delivery." Don't buy it! Will Call or pick all your products. rpm
