Ha, there's a café in Morrisons in Norwich which has a lady 'barista' (?). Their coffee walnut cake is to die for. But sometimes they haven't got any. I politely point out that it's for sale on their shelves.

The lady is very nice and knows us now. The last time this happened, she said, "Just go and buy one, and I'll cut a slice off and put it on a plate for you. You can take the rest home."

The poor lass was trying to serve customers, clear tables and wash up some cups in a bowl all at the same time. I was tempted to offer to help her by wielding a tea towel, but no doubt that's not allowed!
