I gotta agree.

I know a guy though who gets a thrill out of cheating fast food places
out of large drinks: he'll order medium, then when he gets up to the
second window (after paying) says, "You know, I really do want a
supersize drink". They give it to him on the house because it's too
much hassle to go back to the register. It makes him all giddy n
sheet.

The dude earns six figures, too.

I just don't get that.
