"free" guitar picks? Tone you are not shoplifting ?

I don't know about guitar shops in Sweden SS but here in America...at the counter they usually have a jar full of assorted picks. I assume that they're there for people that come in and want to strum some axes so they put them out for people to grab so the store employees don't get bothered with "hey do you have a pick?". As far as I know I wasn't shoplifting. LMAO The store employee was right there in front of me as I was talking to him while I grabbed some.

I know shops around here usually charge $.25 each for them. They used to be free, so that people could try out a guitar, but then folks took advantage of that by grabbing a fistfull, so now they're no longer free!
I pay for my own picks because I like a particular kind, but it used to be nice to have the option of a free pick when I would forget to throw a couple in my pocket.

No free picks here, that is why I wondered. Of course I know that you are a decent and honest man Tone

I have a terrible time holding onto a pick... I so far found heavier picks give the dark tones... I been getting use to 2.0 finns by Dunlap which has about 3 different type sides to them.. Seems when I get going though with some sort of strumming faster and faster...I end up using all sides as it rotates in my hand... So I figured I would try a thumb pick.. well, I got some ernie balls and the end is so long on them.... I guess I am in search for a short end thumb pick as it does solve the problem of leaving my hand and allows me to strum and finger at the same time... Hmmm... finger picks next to match sound... anyone use thumb picks with short ends?

i only use 3 picks... one is a 1.5 mm mandolin pick... another is a 1.5 MM rounded jazz pick... and the other is a cross between a jazz and a mandolin pick... its a teardrop jazz pick.. 1.5 MM.. with a kind of pointed and sharp end on it... only one i've found like it... anybody else come across this pick?

Well, with all this talk about the V-pick, I figure it should be mentioned in this thread too. Haven't gotten mine yet, but I sure will tell you all about what I think of them, once I've used them for a while.
The Law of Gravity is nonsense. No such law exists. If I think I float, and you think I float, then it happens.
