When Costco Sampling goes too far

[DaveNV]

I don't think this is from Costco, but it could be anywhere that does product sampling in the aisles. No explanation needed.

So funny.

I really hate it when Costco puts the dessert samples before the main course. Y'know, it should be the appetisers- chips n' dip, then the salad course with the cole slaw and dressing, maybe some bread and peanut butter or sausage or pizza or taqitos for a main course, Chocolate milk or Go-Gurt, then cheese and some nuts to finish it all off.
They should be able to give out samples of wine or beer, but our state borders Utah, so that won't happen. Well, I can wish. . . .

Yeah, the person that photoshop'd the image forgot about the sign (which doesn't match the "sample"). But it's still funny!

I wonder if it's some special kind? Trying to read the (bad) signage, it looks like one of the words is "Allergies." So maybe it's some set of medical TP? Either way, it's a great image. The intense look on the face of the woman is priceless. And then there are the gloves and the shower cap thing she's wearing...

I don’t know. If you look at the labels in the background, it looks like it might be outside the USA. 89.95 Mexican pesos is about $4.50 US. So it may not be faked.

But the point is that it’s funny.

I thought I could sort of read an item number on the sign 274169 but that didn't pull any hits at Costco.com. It is a fun, tongue-in-cheek glimpse into Costco 'culture'.

Agreed. The name tags are the wrong color and pattern for Costco. Blue and white is more of a WalMart thing. Anybody know the color of badges Sam’s Club uses?

Beer samples at a Costco cousin results in filling a 10th of a plastic shot glass. Very poor pour.

I think it is PriceSmart in Aruba. The logo looks like it. If in Aruban Florin, it would end up being $50US

I feel this photo is not at a Costco store. Look at the brand of the tp and look closely at the person name tag. This photo was not taken at a Costco store.

We border Utah and we get Alcohol samples Very common here - even at Walmart! And, coupons for alcohol - definitely not legal everywhere!
