Why is it that some people walk into Costco and instantly go stupid? Is grabbing a shopping cart and moving into the store that confusing? Please do not grab your cart and then stop so you can pull out your shopping list, answer your phone, or rearrange your purse.
I realize that a lot of people go there to browse and get free samples (I'm not judging - I'm all about the free food). But can you please work with those of us who are there with a purpose? Instead of cruising down the middle of the main aisle, pick a side and let me pass into oncoming traffic - I'll take my chances. And if you're going to stop for a sample, take the food and move to an out of the way place to eat it. If you like it, you can go back to get a box of it.
If you really feel obligated to make small talk with the person serving the samples in order to feel less guilty about the fact that you have no intention of buying that item, then go ahead. But don't give me a dirty look when I ask you to move or attempt to run you over with my cart. Yes, you have a right to try the food and ask questions. Just like I have the right to actually go for the things on my list and leave in less than 3 hours.
