Oh what would I do without thee? The free samples, the cheap and delicious assortment of food available in the outdoor food court (Chicken Bake! Be still, my stomach), the cheap prices...it's almost too much to bare. There is no feeling parallel to the excitement of lining up for the sample lines, anticipating the food which is better prepared than would be in one's home. Hence, a "quick stop" at Costco can easily become a 3-hour run.
