I went into the grocery store just before noon today, with a "rumbly in my tumbly" (the inspired words of Winnie the Pooh) and the thought of grabbing some lunch when I finished my shopping. Before I could even get in the door, a nice man beckoned me over for a sample of some sweet watermelon. Once inside, I found sample stations set up every few feet--chicken salad, lasagna, hummus, mac and cheese, California rolls, trail mix, yogurt, etc., etc. I must confess, I did not turn any of the samples down. And I only purchased one of the products being offered. And when I was checking out, I realized that I wouldn't need to stop for lunch after all.
Is this as completely pathetic as it seems?! Or is it possibly the most brilliant scheme in all of lunch history?
We did that a couple of times in college when the bank account got low.
