I can't, other than finding out you can't really tell and never assume. Not really retail, but I owned an automotive repair shop for many years in Silicon Valley, and the amount of well-dressed guys with fairly nice cars who whined incessantly about the bill while spreading to cost over three maxed out credit cards was only eclipsed by the number of scroungy dudes with old cars who didn't even blink at the cost and cheerfully unrolled hundred-dollar bills off of a wad the size of my fist. Even the shoe-thing doesn't always work because people donate expensive clothes to thrift shops and such, plus fakes are often cheap/common.

I always turn down the 'free poo poo' because there always seems to be a bunch of time-consuming bullshit to go through before I actually get free poo poo. "Sir, would you like a free set of giraffe spats with your purchase of helium and plastic bags?" 'Uhhh.. yeah, I guess' "Great! <big fake smile> just fill out this application for our loyalty card/credit card/etc. and we'll send you a coupon for the giraffe spats" And at that point I hate saying 'gently caress that, way too much bullshit', especially because I know the poor employees don't want to be pushing this poo poo either and they probably get penalized in some way for not getting enough applications or whatever. If they're obviously just reaching under the counter and handing out free stuff, sure, I'll take it, but it never seems to work out that way so I automatically refuse everything.
