« Late Night | Main | Universal Attitude » On Strike
August 29, 2005
It's official.
Costco Strike, that is.
So I am was trying to maneuver my cart around the Sample Table when I go 'cart to cart' with a lady coming from the other direction. "Hey. No cutting in line!", she demanded. "Cutting in line?" "Yes. Cutting in the sample line. Me and the 3 carts behind me are waiting in line for the Samples." "I can assure you that I am not cutting in line. I am trying to get out of this God Forsaken aisle." "Well you better not be cutting in line!" She was a surley woman with a raspy man-like voice. If I had the ability to place a fuzzy dot over her face I could swear I had seen her on an episode of Cops. She was pretty much dressed for the part of "Screaming and Curse-out-the-Police Girlfriend". The kind who get bleeped a lot. Anyway. I stood there for a minute wondering what the heck all the fuss was over. I was so confused why anyone would be so uptight over a sample of white bread. That's right - I saidWhite bread.
In my case, it was a little bit of both.

You are my hero. I had to break through a similar line where there were people five deep waiting for frozen cheese tortellini at the Commisary yesterday. Fortunately, no refugees from "Cops" impeded my breakout. Posted by: nicole at August 29, 2005 04:13 PM So what was the deal with the white bread? Why was it a "sample item?" Posted by: Patti at August 29, 2005 04:34 PM Can't you apply for a business membership so you don't have to put up with that shite? Business members get to go at specially reserved hours. Posted by: Dr Alice at August 29, 2005 07:49 PM Or - (shudder) - was this DURING business membership hours? Posted by: Dr Alice at August 29, 2005 07:50 PM *laugh* Thanks for the chuckle. My husband won't go in the place anymore for the same exact reason! Posted by: Jennifer at August 29, 2005 08:01 PM You are such a bitch. You know you don't even like white bread. Posted by: veg4me at August 29, 2005 09:18 PM I've never "gotten" the whole Costco thing. Their prices are no bargain, it's full of rude, frantic people and you have to pay a membership. Stay away. Stay far away. Posted by: haddock at August 29, 2005 11:45 PM Once again, you did what I only wish I could...of course, I'd land myself on the 9 o'clock news if I let the inner beast out. White bread. Snort. Posted by: CAD Monkey at August 30, 2005 10:58 AM Feh, you'll go back. I can just feel it. Posted by: Dr. Biggles at August 30, 2005 12:44 PM Our Sam's is the same way.I hate going in there,its not worth it to me. Posted by: emily at August 30, 2005 01:15 PM I am in awe of your humor. I just got through reading March '04 in the archives. Seriously funny stuff. The Costco stuff is funny, too. Posted by: Traci at August 30, 2005 01:42 PM what's so special about that bread???! Posted by: Lil at August 31, 2005 06:21 AM Where there cheese and coldcut samples on the next aisle? Then I could understand the need for the white bread - sample sandwhich.
