On the way to the club I visited a Costco and got cut off!

Bacon props!!
I hadn't been to the club in a month. Normally I'd go with some friends or my dad/brothers but today I wanted to strike out on my own. As I went down the road to a Jersey establishment, I remembered a Costco I enjoy because they always give out samples of food. My belly was rumbling loudly and I needed to pick up supplies for the 5 little mouths eating me out of house and home.
Have you ever been at Costco during the day on an empty stomach? It's amazing!! I pretended to be buying stuff while filling my cart up with crap I was never going to purchase, just to give the impression I'm buying stuff. The real experience is tasting all the delicious samples they leave you. I walked up and down the aisles just snacking, and repeatedly stopping over and over at the stand with the miniature party hot dogs. They were delicious!
Needless to say after 30 minutes, and 20 trips to the wonderful yet geriatric 80 year old server of scrumptious miniature hot dogs, she cut me off! She said, " No more for you! You go now! You here too many times. Either buy a package to take home with you or don't eat."
I've been cut off at the bar for drinking too much, but this is the first time I've ever been denied extra samples at Costco. After an hour and 1/2, I ran out of time to even go clubbing and I left with a stomach ache. Has anyone else ever had a good distraction like this to keep you away from the show clubs?

(Funny Jim Gaffagin tickets just went up for a giveaway on the radio as I typed the above- DTE Theater in Clarkston Michigan. I damn well could have dialed the phone.....)
I got great reviews but the grind was too much. I couldn't maintain the show and sacrifice being away from my kids. They grow up way too fast!
If it was me I'd leave that place weighing 5 pounds more.
1) jr bacon cheeseburger or crispy chicken sandwhich
2) 4-piece nuggets
3) fries
4) drink
Costco announced today that they are raising membership prices (maybe to cover freeloaders like the OP).
Every time I go to Costco it costs me twice as much as a club trip. I actually got a phone # from a single mother last year chatting at the sample line.
Did your eyes meet over the mystery meat? Because that would be ace!
