Why eat/drink when shopping is the task at hand? No wonder people
never get anything done.

True, I don't do free samples of any food or drink offered in stores, just
don't care to.

I usually decline the offers of samples because it is almost always the
sort of stuff that I don't eat and would never buy. One exception in our
local Sobey's store where the deli department usually has samples of
cheese and or cold cuts.

I might sample a cheese I haven't had before just to check it out, but I
don't believe I've ever seen cheese offered in the markets I shop at as free
samples.

Same here. Most of what is offered is a frozen food or some other
processed food that we don't eat. Bagel bites, canned ravioli and the
like are nasty stuff.

Cook up a good steak and I'll take a slice, maybe even buy one.

They did that once at a Safeway. Supposedly their "best" steak, but
pretty tasteless as it turned out. Also drowned in pepper. I think it
was their "Ranch Reserve" strip steak. It might be better than stuff
in the freezer case, but that's about it.
