Costco free samples

So, I had to get lunch today, but I was on a budget. So I went to Costco and just had the free samples.

Because you might think I’m cheap, but in reality they’re not free.

And I think you might be thinking that they’re not free because they make you buy the product, but no, it actually has nothing to do with that. It has to do with this concept of reciprocity.

This is the fancy term of just saying that if someone helps you, you’re gonna help them back. This is true for thousands of years in psychological history, and the reason is that when humans work together, they usually survive more.

Well, you might be thinking that doesn’t have anything to do with Costco free samples, but it really does. Because if you like the free sample, you’re gonna most likely buy the product.

But what people don’t know is that even if you don’t, Costco is giving you something for free. One, it’s gonna make you like them, but two, you might end up just buying the product simply because you feel guilty.
