Pet Peeve Wednesday

We shop at Costco for lots of things.  Its the same as Sam's Club and some others.  It's a warehouse store with some pretty good deals.  The store is huge.  And the things you buy there can be huge.  Don't go there looking for one of anything.  Or if it is one it's big!  Big cuts of meat, big pies, big TVs, etc.

One of the interesting things about Costco are the samples.  At almost every aisle there is someone handing out samples.  Lots of different samples of every kind of food.  I suppose the sample handout might entice some to buy the product, but most just want to chow down.  I'm confident that some get their lunch from the samples.  And it is most frenetic on the weekends.

Which brings me to this week's pet peeve.  People who have a big old shopping cart full of stuff and stand waiting for a sample to be prepared, all the while blocking the aisle.  Or those who leave their shopping cart in the middle so the aisle blocking everyone, while they wait for a precious little morsel.  Just have the courtesy to leave the cart out of the way.  And if the sample isn't ready, don't stand there waiting for it to be prepared.  It's annoying and a bit pathetic.
