Started a new job today and they had quite a collection of grills: 2 Traegers, Weber and a Lynx. Complimented the woman of the house on the collection..."Thanks, do you want that Traeger?" I was flabbergasted! its a little bit older and has some surface rust and needs a cleaning but for free .95 I will take it!

I was doing work in a ladies house back in TX a few years ago. Her office was like a Coleman museum which I complimented her on the collection. Turns out she was a Coleman regional Sales or Account rep a few rungs up the ladder. We enjoyed some small talk about camping and outdoors while I was working.
When I finished my work, she had boxes of new Coleman stuff at the door saying thank you and this is for you and your wife to enjoy the outdoors. Completely flabbergasted, I said I couldn't but she insisted as her garage was full and it's all for marketing. I politely said yes ma'am and thank you very much! It was absolutely everything one would need for 2 people camping except clothes and food; tent, canopy, gas stove, gas lantern, sleeping bags, ice chest, water jug, utensils, flashlights, the works!
My wife flipped out when I unloaded at home thinking I just spent thousands $$ at the sporting goods store. Lol
That was the most generous and pleasant tip I've ever received. Still got the stove and lantern, family and friends enjoyed the rest as I was already set with other gear.
