Nope. No love lost for the giant corporations and conglomerates who put the
"lowly" Mom and Pop establishments out of business.Not a chance in hell.
YMMV,

Who put them out of business, Mr "I shop once a year and buy huge bulk
packages?"Absolutely. I shop at Costco. I don't ask any questions of the
employees. I just assume they'll say "I don't know, read the label".
The people who give out the food samples are knowledgeable. They aren't
employees, they are subcontracted.
Welllllllllllllll, not always! Mom and Auntie, the Demo Dollies, and
all of their blue-haired compatriots know exactly as much as what is
listed on the label - sometimes less. If you ask any one of them (and
this is one of the Sacramento stores, can't speak for all Costcos),
they'll tell you to read the label. If they tell you there's no wheat
in a product, and turns out there is, you can imagine the liability.
