Define desperate

Willows shopping centre had a Save the Fury thing on today. If you signed the petition they gave you a Loyalty card. Get 3 receipts from the food court and you'd get a free prize. One person were so desperate he was crawling under a table to grab a receipt. He then dashed to customer service to receive his prize to be given a teenage mutant ninja turtles pencil case set. Hardly worth it was it Isaac Andrews?
