Cartoon of the Grim Reaper/Death at the door of a smiling, plump woman giving out Halloween candy. Death says:
"I'm not wearing a
costume. I'm here to
take your sou—"
The sentence breaks off when he sees what the woman gave him, then he exclaims:
"Holy Shit
full size Snickers"
He concludes:
"Nevermind
Margaret
we're good"

He could just threaten everyone he comes for to buy him some full-sized Snickers or he'll take their soul. Most would consider that a fair trade.
Oh, I'm sure that, once word gets out, everyone will have a few Snickers or similar treats to hand at all times, sort of like how spirits would be sent to the afterlife with two coins for Charon, but a bit earlier in the process.
And then for the suicidal people, he'd threaten to NOT take them if they don't buy him some Snickers.
