Which make-up counters/stores are good about giving out samples?

I don't get any samples unless it is with gift with purchase. The SAs @ my malls are really stingy. They only gives sample if you buy 100+. I bought face creme for my mom @ 150 dollars and they didn't give me any samples until I asked and sometimes they say they don't have any! :sad:

You can just tell some SAs are snooty and I feel weird asking for them samples.
 
Anytime I buy makeup I always ask for samples. I tell them that that is how I try stuff and I usually end up buying it. Unless someone is just cold-hearted, they won't give you anything. I have never been turned down at any counter: Dior, Chanel, Lancome, MAC, Kiehl's, Bobbie Brown.
