Indeed, but making them free turns them into an entitlement, and when a family of hu-cows waddle in and demand basket after basket after basket, lowing uproariously if they do not get their "free breadsitcks" when they want them, it really devalues the breadsticks.
A friend of mine went to a restaurant that promised a free meal if they could scarf down a large set of noodles. She set a state record, and then puked it all. I really miss that friend.
Nothing erodes value quite like making it free. See free love, free health care and free breadsticks as examples.
Whoa Whoa Whoah, those breadsticks are awesome.
