***Costco Sample Update For February 10, 2010***

Love is in the air and the samples today really reflected it, here is what the ladies were dishing out today:  Feta Cheese and Salad, Great Northern Paper Towels, Sugar and Gluten Free Belgian Chocolates, Cashew Chicken, Garden Burger (chipotle bean and regular), Biscotti, Mushroom Chicken Ravioli, French Onion Soup, Quesadilla With Tillamook Cheddar, Odwalla Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice, Jumbalaya Rice, Dried Mangos, Hot and Spicy Chicken Noodles, D3 Chewable Vitamins.

Overall rating 6.2/10.  The last week or so has been real hectic at Costco and today was a welcome change.  The crowds were at a minimum and the sample ladies (and lads) seemed to be on their best behavior.  Amy, the sample queen and moderator, runs a real tight ship and she was making her rounds today ensuring that everyone stayed well stocked and fresh.  We appreciate all the hard work that she does, and it was nice to see her in action today.  Odwalla orange juice is just about the best orange juice I have ever had west of the Mississippi,  and I am going to go ahead and award it the sample of the day.  One big disappointment today was the sugar and gluten "free" chocolate.  Lets go ahead a put a big hypothetical asterisk by both of those claims as this stuff seems to include both sugar and gluten.  Neil seems to take extreme personal offense to any kind of false advertising and after squeezing the truth out of the frankly terrified sample lady, he quietly swore jihad under his breath against the company behind the chocolates and possibly the whole country of Belgium.   Neil will not be trifled with.


Here is a picture of young Neil after he stabbed a classmate that informed him that the juice he was drinking did not actually contain any actual fruit juice.

I don't remember that specific picture, but it had to have happened a dozen times so who knows.
