Costco death squad

Nancy Young · 2007-07-28T17:10:38+00:00

Those sample ladies, what does Tammy call them? They pretend to be so nice, so earnest in their belief in the greatness of their product, but don't buy it. They are there to kill you. Last time I took a sample from some sweet lady, it was a cracker with dip on it ... I almost choked trying to swallow it without water. Dryyyy. Today, I was trapped into it again, Kirkland all natural peanut butter on a piece of rye. Very tasty. Uh, you don't have any of those little milk samples to wash it down, do you? Gack. nancy

I think the Demo Dollies will be out here in NM when Tammy comes out
for the cook-in. I don't know if she is bringing them to the cook-in
per se, but they are very welcome if they want to join us. Maybe we
can get them to push samples on folks here at the cook-in. 😉

No, not milk, but lots of other liquids of dubious nutrition and
terrible aftertaste. Two aisles over.

Unfortunately it took me four bites to finish off my sample, so when
I needed a sip, I was in the oh-so-dry paper plates and plastic utensil
aisle.
On the way home, it occurred to me, This might be the last time I go to
Costco on a Saturday morning, something I usually avoid. This is
because Ron's retiring in two weeks, why would you go there on
Saturday morning if you can go any other day? Then I thought ...
Why *are* there so many retired people there that time? Samples?

I just can't see "working that hard" to get a free "meal"? Fighting the
crowds, the parking, etc?? Not my cup of tea, y'know?

That's my general plan, I'm not much for crowds, especially those that
are easily avoided. I have a friend who goes shopping the day after
Thanksgiving because it's a tradition. I think, what, traditional
Nightmare?

I think those samples are a great service to consumers.
Almost every one of them I've tried, I can honestly say 'Thank God I
got to try it before I bought a whole package of that stuff!'

Gets them out of the house. I've been "retired" before,
and having something to do that also knocks a few dollars
off the budget is a way off the couch.

Pumpkin pie sample -- GERD, 1 minute later! But I think it's really tasty.
Any of their 4-cheese raviolis GERD, 1 hour later. Not tasty.

If all my Christmas shopping isn't done before Thanksgiving (and it
almost always is), the rest of my shopping gets done on the internet.
I'm not stepping foot in a brick and mortar store from the day after
Thanksgiving to the 2nd of January.
