My uncle told me to never work for free, not even a sample

He said it back when I started my graphic design work, and I thought he was just being cheap. Last month a local cafe owner wanted a full logo set 'as a test' before hiring me, so I spent a whole weekend on it. They used my design on their new cups and never called me back. Should I have just sent a rough sketch instead?

Your uncle was right, but a rough sketch still has value. They just stole your weekend's work.

Bettykim is right, that's just theft.
