The person returns the favor by giving your solution consideration when shopping...Nice theory. Value would differentiate us with competitors. Give a person something of value.

Let my defeat serve as a lesson to all :) And I've got plenty of mint pesto spread in my fridge if you're ever in the neighborhood! No problem. Let my defeat serve as a lesson to all :)

When you go to the local farmer's market, the vendors often give you a free sample. Then another. Then another. I once stood outside an Afghani food stall for 10 minutes while the impressive salesperson gave me every combination of flat bread and toppings, until I felt compelled to buy something. Even though I didn't even like what he was giving me! It's what Robert Cialdini calls the principle of reciprocity. The need to return a kindness you are shown by another is so strong that you will not feel whole until you can restore "balance" to things by repaying what you've been given in what you consider an equivalent way.
