Exactly this. It's like panhandling; it doesn't matter how many other people are out there on street corners, it's still a bad look and I'm still going to wonder how you can't at least hold down a job at Burger King.
When you create a sense of availability it goes entirely against the feeling of scarcity. If you see an unopened loaf of bread on the sidewalk you're much less likely to take it home and make a sandwich out of it. We all know why. You wonder what's wrong with it.
Don't act like that loaf of bread on the sidewalk. Act like the loaf on the shelf. Same loaf.
