Costco shopper beats up old man over free samples

I'll admit, I like Costco, shop there about once every 6 weeks for the basics. I'll admit, I usually buy shit I shouldn't (like the beef jerky I got last week) but enjoy my time there. That being said, I f*&^ing can't stand the free food samples. I've never bought anything they're hocking, they clog up the flow, and it makes grown men behave like my dogs around the dinner table
Do you have to take a boat there or is there a bridge?

There appear to be people that go there for meals. Not a bad strategy for the homeless. Membership is like 60 bucks/year. Go in at opening, hit the microwaved samples for meal #1. Go in before close for round #2. When you can scratch together a few additional bucks beyond your heroin addiction, you spring for a huge $3 jar of cheese balls.
Mea cupla. Let he who has not mistook isle for aisle cast the first stone.
We only have Sams around here. But, I agree, the free samples always look disgusting. I've never tried any just because of 1) the way they look and, 2) the way the people hawking them look.
I love how writers cherry pick the least offensive, least funny comments from the subject's Twitter/Facebook/Instagram.
"Did you seriously punch an old man in the face?"
"Lay off the nutella waffles dude."

My father in law goes there and eats like a king. He also loves the dollar hot dog deal? I might be mis-representing the deal. But as I understand you can get a real foot long and a coke for a dollar or $1.50. Right up his alley. My kids always get christmas gifts from costco. It's hysterical. In fairness, he's got 10 grand kids and he usually buys the best stuff along with other things. He's generous. However, it's absolutely priceless how he will go there and eat. You go down to his shore house and it's stocked with all Costco crap. It's awesome in some ways. We make fun of him to his face on this stuff. However, he's got more money than all of us so I guess the joke's on us.
I'm not sure what other states have Costco liquor stores but it's amazing in FL. You can buy a 6 pack of Stoli handles for like $170. It's better than most duty free shops.
Virginia you can do wine and beer. The wine selection and price is as good as you'll find. Obviously some high end win stores have stuff you can't get at Costco. However, you can certainly fine great wines at incredible prices. Costco is a great store. IMO, the key is to remain disciplined and not buy stuff you don't need.
We have it in Mass. They dropped Makers Mark last year, so I started drinking the Kirkland Bourbon. I am embarrassed to say that I like it. They also have Guinness cans leading up to St. Paddys Day. Love that as well.

He's shared his contempt for customers before. Usually in reference to how they abuse the generous return policy by returning dirty socks and stuff.
I'm sure if you looked into it the Kirkland Bourbon is from a reputable distillery. I think Costco is the largest wine distributor in the country and they take their Kirkland brand wines pretty seriously.
