"I'm not sure why you made that post in this thread, but I'll bite: what was it you had in mind?"
I made my post because I thought I could gain some new insight by approaching the discussion from a different angle.
"Why would you WANT to pay for something that's free, Mike?"
I wouldn't. Now I may be confused on what it is exactly that YOU are trying to say here, (and I doubt I would be the only one) but it seems like you are leaning towards people not taking things that are free. Is that right? Honestly, I don't know where you stand.
"Are you saying that Starbucks' Venti Iced Lattés are free?!?"
No, but if they were would you be okay with it?
I was posing a question to the forum to see what people thought about the idea of paying for something that has no price. If something is free do you feel obligated to pay for it? If someone went into Starbucks and filled a cup with milk, then went to the register to pay for it do you think the cashier would accept money? The official Starbucks policy (as we now know it) would be to let that customer walk out without paying a cent.
