I used to work at a restaurant that served these really good fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. They were made pretty regularly, so you'd never get a cookie that was more than an hour or two old. Despite this someone would inevitably ask for some fresh out of the oven. The problem with this was twofold:

1. They took nearly 15 minutes to bake, way longer than anyone was willing to wait.

2. If you know anything about baking soft chewy cookies, when they come out of the oven they are basically just molten goo, we had to wait 10 minutes before we were even allowed to take them off the pan.

So, we'd always tell people these things, and at least a couple times a week, someone would demand we do it anyway, and call the manager when we handed them a hot bag of cookie goo 15 minutes later. The restaurant eventually got rid of those cookies for something that was pre-made that tasted like Dollar Store cookies.

I thought about this a lot during the height of the Covid Pandemic, and every time a politician disagrees with a scientist about climate change. Anyway, welcome to Dollar Store Planet.

I worked at a plant nursery that gave out apples to the customers. I was always amazed at the complaints about the free apples. That and the ones that wanted an additional one for the kid that stayed home.
@afl Why do people complain about free things?!
@RickiTarr
This apple isn't as crisp as the last one I got. Could I get a different one? Why can't I pick the fruit off the trees? How am I supposed to know how it tastes? Can I get a colder apple? My 3 kids are at home. Can I get one for them?
@afl Wow
@RickiTarr
I learned a lot about working with the general public there. Probably where my sarcasm streak really kicked into high gear.
@afl @RickiTarr I just can’t imagine how people can be so rude! Shocking ungratefulness.
