I enjoy shopping at Costco and often partake of their delicious and inexpensive fare after my shopping is done. How can you beat a delicious quarter pound hot dog and a 20 ounce drink (with free refills) for under two dollars? Even with the great food attraction I try to avoid Saturday shopping when possible because of the long lines and crowds, particularly around the free sample stations. I find these aisle-clogging freee food stations maddening when I am in a hurry which is what I am when the store is crowded. In a good day you can pretty much fill up with free food, but I don’t understand why folks think that they actually have to eat the sample right there in front of the server? If it is something good (I had a lobster ravioli and IT WAS GOOD!) I want some and if it’s not I want around you.
