wut?
They do. My local ShopRite did last time I was there. Don't know wtf it was cuz I don't really eat the sort of stuff that would be offered as a free sample but they definitely do. They had the lady with the electric griddle and the tongs and the cups and the toothpicks handing out free shit.
And Safeway does, too, but in a different way. Every week, they toss free shit to customers through the app. You just grab a package, take it through checkout and off you fuck with your sample. Last week, it was tortilla chips and the week before, Barilla pasta al bronzo. Last month or so, it was that shitty new Coke flavour and so on. Once, it was vegan cheese. Tasted nice, but didn't melt.
Is this something that they stopped doing in flyover states or something, like that thread about "where have all the live lobsters gone?!" thread a few months back?
I forgot about Sprouts. Yeah, they still give out samples, too. I don't go there that often so I forgot.
These days I mostly see an alcohol rep trying to pawn off whatever new flavor of bacardi or smirnoff they have on hand. Then you have to show your ID to get a half ounce pour if their shit.
I went to the perth royal show this year and was shocked to see in the shopping hall area lots of place just handing out booze samples, I'm sure if I weren't so obviously adult they would have asked for ID but I'm still surprised with how heavy our laws generally are about alcohol serving and selling they were allowed to be there at all.
did they ever give away samples of regular food?
i saw one not long ago but it was blatantly being paid for by the company that produced whatever slop it was. so i guess not many companies are willing to pay for it now.
when i worked in a grocery store as a kid over 20 years ago, on weekends the wife of the meat market manager would come in and serve samples of smoked meats amongst other meat related things
thanks for the memory op
They do, it's just during certain hours of the day. If you are going in the evenings, you can get fucked. They target females during the business hours of the day shopping for their families, usually around lunch time.
Places like Walmart never did samples. Only bulk clubs and fancy groceries.
I walked past the meat counter and I hear, "Do you want to try some of our hickory smoked bacon?' I said, "Hell yeah" and was presented with a tray of cooked, thick cut smoked bacon. I asked the butcher if anyone ever says "No" to that question.
I ended up buying 5 lbs of their bacon. It's fucking delicious.
They realized that it's fucking stupid and that no one has ever actually decided to buy a product because of a free sample. People just take it, eat it, and walk away.
They do it at my publix all the time. I never buy anything though. I just eat the free samples, fill my gallon jug up with lemonade from the deli fountain, and leave.

I know that you're utterly race-obsessed and have to bring it up at all opportunities, but it really doesn't work here. There's no possible way to actually justify your argument here. There is no possible way to make the claim "they stopped giving away free samples at stores because of black people" and back it up with proof that is logical and rational.
because they have to pay someone to give out samples and most minimum wage businesses have been operating with skeleton crews since covid
>because they have to pay someone to give out samples and most minimum wage businesses have been operating with skeleton crews since covid
The local Little Caesars shut down it's drive-thru, as they can't get enough workers to keep it manned.
they have been doing at that the last 4 groceries stores i've visited.
publix, kroger, whole foods, sprouts'

whats australia like? is it boomer central ?
I guess, we have a lot of the same sort of issues around our housing market as america with boomer investors

Costco still has product demonstrations. Stop being a poorfag and get a membership.
Nah. I went into a Costco once with a friend and it was full of jeets. I don't want to see ugly ass Indians when I'm trying to think of food.
Stop living in a third world country. My local super market has an old lady giving out samples on every other aisle, including wine samples.
If you are going at 8am like you should be, of course they aren't.

most stores dont do it because of N-
N-'s just steal food and laundry detergent. They don't bother with free samples.
You know fucking why. Everyone knows why.
Your really can't blame this on joggers or refried beans. It's much more likely the hospital bombers

I get free shots of booze at the Ralph's grocery store on Friday evenings.
So do I. I just chug the bottle when no one is looking then put it back.

This, a Sam's Club always has some usually near their freezer aisles.
