Costco is bringing back its free-sample service, but the company has been mum about how it will work. The finger foods will almost certainly not be distributed from counters like this.
There’s no such thing as a free lunch, but the next best thing — the free samples at Costco — is coming back.
The popular, hors d’oeuvre-like freebies were discontinued in early March as the coronavirus pandemic spread. On Thursday, Costco announced it will resume the practice in mid-June.
Exactly how the big-box chain plans to do this is a mystery. The company currently requires all shoppers to wear a face covering in the warehouses. Munching sesame chicken on a cracker while wearing a surgical mask could prove daunting.
“We're going to start doing some things in mid-June on a slow rollout basis in sampling,” said company CFO Richard Galanti, who was speaking on a third-quarter earnings call. “I can't tell you anymore, but … needless to say, it’s not going to be where you go and just pick up an open sample with your fingers.”
Galanti also said Costco will soon be expanding the menu items in its food court.
A San Diego-based company called Club Demonstration Services had been providing employees to distribute the samples, but Buzzfeed News reported in April that Costco cut ties with CDS in April.
