    Does anyone actually buy random schwag tee shirts, mugs etc? I mean other than free stuff you might get from companies or conferences?

        Yes, in droves. My last utterly awful job had a freaking store on the way out of the building. They hired daily in batches of 30 because of the astronomical turnover rate, but if you bought in, you bought in *hard* and probably bought all sorts of garbage.

        Depends, I've bought some shirts to support some cryptocurrency projects. They're usually pretty dorky shirts but I love me some dorky shirts.

        People buy the tee shirts from our thrift store for use as dusting rags, shop towels, quilt batting, dog bed lining... just realized we could probably get more than 25 cents for them if they were already cut up...

        My wardrobe is obnoxiously full of swag t-shirts from webcomics I enjoy.

        Does an ‘Occupy Mars’ t-shirt count as schwag?
