I have nothing against the samples, even if one sample dude did have
a hissy fit at me once. Kind of put me off. But it's the way people
get this look in their eyes like ... SAMPLES, MUST GO TO SAMPLES
and stand around in a crowd like they never saw free crackers
before, geez. Even then I wouldn't care if there wasn't a traffic jam
of carts.

Luckily, being of the leisure set (harrr), usually I don't see too many
samples since I go early during the week. And sometimes I get
a churro on my way out, for a buck. It's all good.
