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.
