[quote=Essbee]I was at Costco Carmel Mountain over the weekend. What amazes me is how normal-appearing people will jostle and grab 5 samples without any thought to the person who has been waiting politely for their turn (ie me). Or they reach WAY across the sample tray to get the largest sample, rather than taking the one closest to them. I pretty much just avoid the samples now (and better for my waistline anyway).

I have been avoiding going to costco at peak feeding hours. There are way too many people that is completely devoid of any common sense or courtesy. I find it quite pathetic that it seems there are people/families who’ll come to costco just for that singular purpose – eating free samples. Oh, then there’s the gas station. I don’t know exactly how much one could save but the long lines and the chaos is not worth it. I thought costco shoppers are generally higher-iq folks.
