They had several samples out today. Grapes, cherries, guacamole and
something in a Crockpot that I didn't investigate. But...

Daughter picked up a box of something frozen. Coffee something or other.
Didn't really pay a lot of attention.

When I was checking out, the cashier asked me how I liked it? I said that I
hadn't had it before and I won't have this stuff but... She said she would
then give it to me as a free sample and I could report back to her how I
liked it.

Okay then! I just wonder if she was supposed to have done that?

Lotta food places are very liberal with their free sample policies.
Grfeat way to garner new business, becaose peolle love getting
something free, plus if they like it, double gotcha!! Almost a
guaranteed sale!! Probably repetitively!

It's just good business!

How did you like what/it? Julie Gibberish Bove, you communicate like
a toddler... my cats have better communicative skills. Julie
Gibberish Bove, you are the most prolific typist but your posts say
absolutely nothing.

I should have told her I'd never tried the other foods either!

It was something on sticks, in a box and frozen. Beyond that, I paid no
attention. I wasn't going to eat it and she checked the ingredients to make
sure it was safe for her. She said it had coffee in it. That's all I know.
And I got it for free. My point was that they gave me something for free.

Well, I'm sure they have their limits!!

When I worked at Straubs' deli, they (we?) were big on samples. Just a
bite, but I'd say 50% or more of the people I gave a sample of Straubs
Chicken Salad bought at least 1/2lb!

I have often bought things that I sampled. But to give me something that I
was going to buy anyway? Kind of odd I think.

Build good will in your mind. If you like the product, and you go
back, you are likely to remember a very good experience with it and
will probably feel special having been given a sample of it, which
will very likely insure that you buy it again and again and again!
Repeat business!

They just popped open a new one of those over in our Ballwick this past weekend. They took over an old abandoned Albertsons bldg. and spent a ton of time and money to fix it up nice. Have a feeling they will live long and proper. This area is knee deep in health conscious yups who will wear them out. I best go check out all this free stuff. Thanks.

And yours reek of cats and a cruel nature befitting an angry cat man. Alone in the world but with his communicative feline "friends."

They'd be out the door if you didn't just feed their little whinin' yaps.

Freebies are always a cool way to promote. I ended buy going regularly to a butcher who would , now-and-then, give me a stray lamb chop or something to tempt me. Next time I'd come back, it was lamb chops.

No disgusting stray kitty paws to spoil my food, either.

I dunno, but I have had that happen twice. Both times, it was a nice
surprise.

It was. It seems to be totally random, so one never expects it to happen.
