cherry pickers 

People who shop at a place for the best deals. They do so without purchasing any regular items - considered undesirable, typically, by the store management.

Also used to describe certain hedge fund managers who allot their best investments to the hedge fund held by family and allot other investments to other hedge funds that they managed - possibly against rules (if registered).

“Each week when our new sales get published, the cherry pickers come and buy us out of the best items,” the store clerk said.

cherry picker 

In sports, someone who prefers to take only easy shots. Mildly disparaging.
A common example comes from basketball, in which a "cherry picker" is a person who favors short shots, but especially a person who sits in the back court by the basket waiting for an outlet pass on a change of possession, enabling them to score easily before any defenders can reach them.
The origins of this term may come from the notion of "cherry picking" as attempting, or picking, only those things that are easily obtained, or only what suits your taste best, as a cherry might.

That punk can't ball for nothin'. He just sits back and cherry picks all day.
