CHARGE THEM and blow up the balloons. this happens to me all the time at 
shows. some people intend to have balloons at the show buying  non brands as 
they think a balloon is a balloon. i educate them to the difference, flying 
time, and blow up their balloons for a charge. it has not been unusual for 
the person to order balloons from me for the next day or show after this. i 
get regular show customers which helps with my booth cost and they like the 
convenience of having their balloons at the show when they arrive. its a 
win-win situation for everyone. we as professionals in this industry need to 
value our product (your helium which by the way you did no get free) and 
time, then  others will value your services. when was the last time you saw 
people run up to a florist in a show and ask for free flowers, but i have 
seen people buy flowers for their booth on the floor of shows. value your 
product and  others will too. Gina
