People can be so greedy.
One day I was demoing the fancy chicken sausages that come 4 to a pack and I actually had to tell a guy he couldn't have any more samples after he ate at least two whole sausages by himself.
Dumbass complained to my manager; luckily he complained to the good manager and got a review of sample policy.
Another time I left Almondina cookies out after finishing my shift, put about 8 packages in the sample dome with tongs. Apparently they disappeared fast because an hour after I left, one of my coworkers found a guy standing there munching his way through a whole package by himself. He'd just opened them and decided to eat them all since they were free samples.
My personal favorite was a guy who tried to argue that I should just give him a larger sample since he was going to take several samples anyway. He actually tried to snatch a bagel pizza off my chopping board one day while I was cutting up the other one from the package.
Idiot almost lost his fingers.

Greedy beggars! If you're that hungry, get your arse to a restaurant and order a meal.

Uh uh, Preston, no.
They're so cheap they're stealing from the sample trays. These are the assholes who will either rack up a $100 bill and either dine-and-dash, or they'll leave a $1 tip.

Then they should find the nearest fast-food joint, Madrias.

You said 'restaurant', not 'fast food place'. There is, to some degree, a difference.
If they're that hungry, they need to buy their own ingredients and make their own meal, rather than wasting everyone's time either to give a shitty tip or not pay, or try to haggle down the price of that burger off the Dollar Menu.

But, but that would require them to not be dicks! You can't be serious!
