Making the marks requires actually stopping--and that interferes with the amount of candy that one can collect. :)

Besides, aside from it being more beneficial to others, they may only have a limited amount of the good candy; once they run out (or at some point in the evening) the mark becomes useless.

A good indicator is often how elaborate the display is, although it's not guaranteed. But it at least shows they're in the spirit of the occasion and have probably bought the good stuff so they can enjoy it themselves as well. Stores were also good places; at least one store would give out cans of pop. (You need something to wash down all that candy and chips.) Another would give out full sized candy bars.

i would choose stopping for spirit over the goods any night :)
Last night 'twas witching Hallowe'en
Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame
Dearest, there lay the letter of your name!
