You know the type of people that are always first in line for the free buffet? The kind of people that just sort of push for every benefit that they can possibly get? The first to ask, what comes along with that?
Well, I realize that we are all looking for some sort of bargain along the way... in one form or another. And "it never hurts to ask"... but I bet that you know (as of course, do I) at least one person that is just pushing it to the limit... and of course... killing some opportunities as well for you. (Because the "benefits" have been abused...)
