Lucky they weren’t Iranian or trump would’ve already sent the order to Diego Garcia airbase.
And my my snout doth descends.
Destroying the Western world order by taking more than one free sample from Costco
I’m doing my part!
ONE Indian person was rude. The entire subcontinent must be cleansed in nuclear hellfire
Typical commie misrepresenting the facts. It was TWO Indian WOMEN.
WOMEN
HORRIFYING.

Careful, this is literally their reaction when you say this:
I am a big important traditional Western man and I will maintain an aura of dignity and self-respect by crying about free samples at Costco, something my 8-year-old daughter has not been seen doing
I feel sorry for the kid. She’s going to see how her dad reacted to this and grow up a bitch as mothafucka by his example.
Just circle back in 5 min, or I dunno, buy the product of you’re that interested. Whining about it is just not a strong look.

infinite samples upon the costco world
Imagine getting mad about costco suppliers having to spend 12% more on their sample marketing budget
I support shoplifting, you think I wouldn’t support taking as many free samples too? It’s just legal shoplifting.

that isn’t it though
Like come on dawg, say you want one, just one, you’re saying there’s no number of taken samples that would lead to you feeling annoyed at the greed, gluttony, wanton excess and callous disregard for anyone else
Homer Simpson over there demolishing free samples that you and a hundred others could be taking, but it’s cool?? remember, you’d also be taking them from costco
At no point has “the cost to costco” entered the matrix of shit i give a shit about
you demand we follow the treat norms and i just don’t give a shit about them
they have functionally infinite re-stocks of samples, this is a silly and stupid discussion. I hold no reverence for treats, hence why I’m fine with some glutton smashing down 100 of them. It’s you that holds them so sacred we must follow the queue rules
From each according to their gluttony, to each according to their fuck you it’s a treat and they’re all mine
A good deal of it is just taking the piss out of a whiner. It’s incosiderate to take that many samples and most people would acknowledge that but going full pearl clutch over it is a bit pathetic and should be called.
Teaching your kid to get upset over something like this is just setting them up for failure.
Valid points but there’s a 0% chance that OOP is accurately representing a real scenario that took place.
Thank you for the validation <3 <3
i genuinely think people should take as many free samples as they want from costco. like costco isn’t giving free samples out of the goodness of their heart. it’s better someone take them whether they are going to share them with other family members, are just hungry, or whatever reason. for costco there will always be more samples.
Fuck Costco and the guy in the OP, but it prob is annoying for the sample worker especially if said sample was prepared in a way were they may not be able to immediately replenish them. I say take 2 max at a time (Or 1 for each person if in a group), make a round, then come back if u want more. More polite imo.
idk i’d give samples at a grocery store i used to work at forever ago and it was really no big deal for me at least. sometimes people are likely grabbing extra for their family who may be at the other end of the store but i really don’t mind whatever reason someone may be taking extra. honestly with how much good food i would see thrown out at the store i worked at i’m much more happy seeing people enjoying and getting fed for free no matter what. it may be different for other workers but i really don’t like assuming negatively of anyone taking advantage of free food, especially not knowing their situation.
I’ve had a friend or 2 in the past who were specifically Costco sample people, and my comment is essentially what they told me. They said there was alot of spoken and unspoken pressure from management and customers to always have samples out, and when there were none, crowds and lines would form adding to that pressure. Anything heated or cooked was especially difficult to keep up with due to their popularity and longer preparation time compared to something like chips.
I agree but not if someone else wants them too or if it’s an undue burden on the worker providing them, i support reasonable portion sizing 😤 yall would understand if you spent 4 hours making Very Good Food but woops it wasn’t enough because one person took twenty servings (and probably threw most away 🙄) so now you have to make more quickly and it won’t be nearly as good 😢
nobody needs to tell me the costco food handler isn’t making the food im just saying my crank opinions come from somewhere
i’m sorry for the extra work on you, and i understand your situation is a bit different. maybe they just really liked the food you made and you fed them well and i’m sure your work is really appreciated ❤️🙏
if it was said in full seriousness then it’d be weird, but I also don’t read takes like that too seriously on the hexed bear forum
I swear to god, you could only get away with apologia like this if it is about Indians

uncritical support to the two Indian women
Just wait for some more samples you putz
it literally takes 5 minutes for them to restock the free samples. whatever lesson your daughter learns from shopping with impatient dad is going to be subordinate to what she learns from a dad who feeds his kid “lunch” at costco on free samples and $1.50 hotdogs+soda.
which, if I had kids, I would absolutely do too, but I have no illusions my kids would not realize what a shameless tightwad I am. and I wouldn’t get all shitty about others doing it too.
kids love sample day, they love a hotdog and a soda fountain, wtf are you talking about
Sample day (with possible supplemental hot dog) lunch was a key component of our budget when we were in real dire financial straits a few years ago. Scam our way in the door with a gift card, an old membership card, or a “trip to the pharmacy” then go to town on the samples. We’d always get at least one or two hot dogs after, so the kids could load up on free refill fountain drinks. Not bad for $2-3.
Of course now they have their fucking tightwad card scanners at the entrance and in the food court, so the hot dogs and drinks are off limits. Fascists.

they’re going to put you in the crystal dawg
The what?
You’re going in the crystal. It’ll be like a second for us, but you’ll feel a week pass. It’s ok though, it could be a lot worse (some guys get a decade in the crystal for Kerryposting).

Thank you. This has confirmed my biases against white Americans.
What about Greek Americans?

I hate his children too.
Cool. Crackers threw a big temper tantrum decades ago because the government wasn’t guaranteeing their special treatment and now college and housing is expensive.
