I just knew this day was coming. On Wednesday of last week my son and I were enjoying some samples of those tasty chicken sausages (and ultimately bought some). By yesterday I had noticed that there weren’t any vendors giving out samples and now I know why. Costco Is No Longer Giving Out Free Samples Due to The Coronavirus and it’s a sad day!
Look, this is actually a good thing but it doesn’t change the fact that it sucks especially if your weekend hobbies include browsing Costco and grabbing free lunch via the samples. Ha.
In all seriousness, Costco is just trying to do the right thing here, I am sure.
Think about it, if someone disobeys quarantine or doesn’t know they have the Coronavirus, they could infect all of those other people just trying to take a bit of a sample. And that is NOT GOOD.
Costco hasn’t made an official statement about this but people all over the country are starting to report that their Costco’s are not offering samples and are unsure when samples will resume.
My Costco in Utah has stopped giving out samples so my guess is, eventually all Costco locations will do the same. Has the Costco in your area stopped giving out samples for the time being? Let us know below if so and where you are located!
