Mooching off a nearby drugstores tester cologne everyday?
Hey basilmarket!
So I'm 15 years old and I'm in high school. I have gotten myself a gym membership for me to go to every morning and work out so I can get in shape. I go at around 6:00 A.M, finish my exercise at around 7:30 A.M, and finish showering at around 8:00 A.M, so I leave the gym at around 8:10 A.M and have to catch a bus for school at around 8:45.
Right next to the gym there is a shoppers drug mart (a drugstore which sells cosmetics) that opens at 8:00 A.M. I went over there after my workout and made my way to the colognes and perfumes section. They had a huge variety and beside each box there was a tester bottle for the customer to try. I sprayed 3 sprays of this Giorgio Armani stuff, and got a whole bunch of compliments at school. I went back to see how much it had costed, but it was priced at about 110$, which, for a zero income student is out of my price range.
So I was wondering if it was okay to come by every once in awhile and mooch off of their testers. I think by the time I get there there is no one to judge or see me being a leech, so it's not really embarrassing. They have the tester bottles open and out anyway for the customers to try out, so would I really be doing anything bad here?
What are your thoughts?

What you do is take one of those cards or strips of paper and spray the cologne on it and then put that card/paper strip in your clothes drawer so all your clothes can smell like it.
And what the guy above me said.
tldr: Do what you want.
This is exactly what they want, you're giving them free marketing.
Also, I wasn't aware Shoppers sold $110 bottles of cologne...
A one time situation is fine but you should ask yourself if you are comfortable with doing that. Cologne isn't obvious like costco or sephora.
Just buy the cologne
it's free advertisement if you tell others the name or people nearby test area sniffed you
lol I would totally do that but there's no place that sells cologne where I live

Haha, I'm not trolling. I'm just wondering if this is a good idea, I mean, they lay them out for the customers to use and test right?
good troll
