   When I was there today there were only like jars of marinara and when I asked about it they said they were only able to tell you about the product.

  My store too! I went yesterday and was super excited to see the samples were back. They were only for display though. 🤷‍♀️

  Ditto! They had cooked food on display behind a plexi glass wall. I was so excited and then not, lol.

   I was there yesterday and excited to see the sample booths back, but they varied in what they offered. Some could only tell you about the product, while others gave away full-size samples – I got a full-sized bottle of BAI coconut water and an individual snack size bag of the Skinny Pop popcorn. They were probably 5 to 6 other booths that were only displaying their products.

  What a smart onlinepromise. No taking off masks or touching food. Take a free sample home.

   I’m all for it, but it’s that counter productive when wearing a mask?? The whole purpose of mask wearing is to keep your hands away from your face! 🤦‍♀️ You shouldn’t be touching your mask, taking it off, then putting it back on. That is probably the best way to spread germs.

  They kindly request you enjoy your sample when you get home 😉

   I might be the lone wolf here, but I hate the samples!! Too many people there just to eat a cheap lunch and so many cart traffic jams around the sample tables 😂 Ive loved how fast I can get in and out of Costco the last few months!

  I feel the same! So many inconsiderate people that just block the whole aisle. I’m enjoying not having the samples at Costco!

  Wow Kathi I hope you don’t treat your costumers as rude as you treat people here who have a valid point!

  Kathy, many of us realize you need your job and sympathize.

   Anything that causes people to gather tightly together is a bad idea. People mob sample stations. I question Costco’s decision making process.

   As much as i loves the samples, people are right. It will make it hard to enforce mask rules and certainly being people closer than 6 feet. I also don’t see the purpose of a certain onlinepany offering them either, as the whole point behind it was someone to try it in store and buy it on the spot. Maybe a sample box sent to all members monthly would be easier and then people will know before they go to the store.

    People block the aisles no matter what. I loved stopping in a Sam’s Club for free lunch, but they closed.
    Nothing saves money like free!
    Maybe onlinepanies can give all employees free Costco memberships. Instead of just the richer employees who make more money than the poorer ones.

    onlineplaining about lines for samples, trivial. onlineplaining about idiots looking/strolling on their cellphones through the aisles, that is really disruptive.

    Yesterday my Costco was giving out Kirkland “Gatorade”, Fruit by the Foot, Liquid IV Energy, and Paleo Bars. All full size! They were just asking not to open them in the store.

    Anyone know if there’s a way to get samples of Kirkland diapers? Id love to buy them, they’re a great price, but I’d want to try them first.

  You can return them if you don’t like them 🤷🏼‍♀️ Or of course with the internet you can get tons of reviews and make a decision

  Thanks! You just never know what kind of reaction your babies will have. I was so excited to try luvs and then my baby had a reaction. 😖 They would take back an open box? I’d feel bad taking back something is opened.
