Spring is officially here. And I can tell by sleeping crappy for the last week. Something about this time of year gets me every time. The good news is it never lasts long.
But thats not why I have asked you all together here tonight. I need to discuss a serious problem. Sampling. Its been around for a long time now. Sampling affects a lot of people. And a lot of people think they can sample and get away with it with no repurcussions. Now I'm not here to tell you if its wrong or not, but some people abuse the right to sample with complete abandon. Take this story for example. I have a good friend of mine who owns a bakery/cafe. Just recently a new customer came up and complained to him that although his samples were very moist and delicious there were not enough of them and that she had eaten them all. he asked her what samples and she told him the lemonpoppy muffin samples on the counter. He had no idea what she was talking about until after another few minutes passed and he realized what happened. Two of his usuals, a mother and her son, were there earlier, and had put there empty baskets that hold the orders up on the counter after finishing. And this lady feasted on the nice moist crumbs of the other customers autistic son! So the next time you go for that free sample, ask yourself "self, where has this sample been?" Well, bon apetite'!
