I love free samples! I do. I have to admit it: I'm a moocher (hope that's spelled right). I will go out of my way in WalMart just to see if they have free samples in the doughnut section (raspberry holes - irresistible). I feel no shame in asking for multiple taste-it spoons as the frozen yogurt place. I get inordinately excited about those gratis mints they keep around in banks and dentist offices. Yes, if it's edible and it's free, then you have won my whole-hearted support. Sorry I can't offer more in the spending department, but I'm really a real fan now!
Yesterday was definitely my lucky day. In the morning I was at Barnes and Nobles, and guess what they had sitting on the front door display.? You're wrong! They didn't have free books. They had free mocha milkshake samples. I about start singing. In the middle of Barnes and Nobles. They were big too; not those puny little samples they give you at yogurt stores, but a good, 2 or 3 ounces. Then, at Sam's Club, I got more free stuff! I love free stuff! A fine young gentleman offered me a Gourmet Chef cheese knife. All I had to do was listen to his lecture on how amazing all the other Gourmet Chef knives are. I gladly attended; he was unusually animated (who would have thought Gourmet Chef steak knives could cut through elephant tusks). I got a free knife and free entertainment at the same time. I was psyched. This was like, the best day of my life.
So today I'm hoping for the same magnificent circumstances to occur. I want everything to be a free sample! If WalMart gave free samples of water, I would take it, and concur that it was the best water I had ever tasted. I would take my free sample and slip covertly out the door. Because that's how I roll; broke college students don't come to buy stuff, they come for free stuff. Mentally noting to return someday when I have a well-established pay check, to reward their generosity with my business.
