Costco Etiquette

My daughter told me about an interesting experience she had at Costco while we were shopping there yesterday.

If you've been to Costco or any grocery store that has a tray of samples, you can probably relate.

Grab it while you can!

The spicy cheese quesadilla stand was attracting a lot of interest. My daughter and another women were the only two people left after everyone else grabbed their sample. And there were two quesadilla samples left. Sounds simple, right?

Not so much. The woman next to my daughter took one, and just as my daughter was about to take the last one, the woman took it, also. She looked at my daughter and explained that her husband would like to try one, too. OK, kind of strange, but not outrageously rude. At least not yet.

The woman then proceeded to eat both samples herself!

My daughter said she felt as if she were playing Larry David on "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
