Hi Gravekeeper!
Glad to see you.
Your SC was...I don't know. As someone else said, why shop around if the price is "free"?

'Can you price-match free.'

I'll throw in a two-year-old can of beans and last week's newspaper.

I'm a bartender. People try to get free stuff from me all the time.
Notice the key word: "try."
Because one of the basics of Bar Etiquette is that you don't ASK the bartender for free drinks; he/she TELLS you when you're getting them. Those who ask for free drinks almost never get them because, well, they annoyed the bartender by being cheapass fucktards.
I have also had people mistakenly believe that "bar" is the same as "retail" or "bazaar" and try to have me price match.
Again, the key word here is "try."
THEM: "Yeah man, up the street at the Gravekeeper Tavern their Coronas are only two bucks."
ME: "You probably should be drinking them there, then."
THEM: "What, you're not gonna try to beat that price, man?"
ME: "No. Our Coronas are five bucks."
THEM: "That's ridiculous! I don't want to pay five bucks for a Corona!"
ME: "No one's forcing you. But if you want to drink here, that is the price."
Yada yada yada, you get the idea.

I would have been sorely tempted to ask, "Exactly how do you suggest I price-match 'free'??"
