Free scrapyard magnet today

My local scrapyard got taken over by a big dog scrap company a while ago, i don't know probably been like that for years. Today we're there at the nonferrous scales and my dad asks the guy where they get the magnets they always have, you know, keychain kind. The guy says their big dog company people supply them, of course. Then, the guy says something like, "they usuallly have some extra ones in the office, you can check with them".

I am now being paid at the window in the other building, almost done.


...


I say, "he said something about yall have magnets..?" readying myself to pay, incase. She, says something, then, goes to check some file cabinet behind her, pulls out some magnet still in a plastic wrapper. I said, "free?" She hesitstes, then says, "i don't always have them". I did not have to exchange funds for said item. Cough free scrapyard magnet cough cough.




I don't know if this is normal or if its really super crazy and i shouldn't be sharing this kind of highly sensitive information. lol. It's probably normal with big companies cause they probably send extras a lot. Sorry if this is scrap room material lol, or maybe I'm just a noob.
