I wouldn't have kept as cool. I would have been glaring back at the impatient people.<br/><br/>We have a Sams in my area (similar to Costco with the whole bulk thing and the samples) and we specifically avoid sample day (Saturday) unless we're dying, a.k.a. out of diapers/wet wipes. They never have their crap together on the sample items. And the holidays are worse. My oh my. I wouldn’t have kept as cool. I would have been glaring back at the impatient people.
