As a hypothetical then. Costco hands out "freebies". Who pays for the freebies?

The members, Costco, the businesses manufacturing the items being sampled, or a combination of these?

Or would you claim Costco pays for this completely, and that the money that pays for this is completely unrelated to the members, the money just comes from somewhere?

...I encountered someone who made the latter claim. Perhaps the truth is some other third option I have not considered (which I would appreciate you pointing out, I need more practice thinking outside the box), but I highly doubt there is some money box that pays for customer "freebies" that isn't somehow funded from customer revenue.

Oh it was the same uproar (it's uncomfortable, it will harm me, we've never had to do this before, I can't breathe, my religion says I shouldn't, etc.) but at least that was a bit more in face about saving your life.

Masks... Ugh.

Shit guess hospitals are just gonna have to deal then, ey? You want that surgery done? Too bad, it's getting rescheduled. Again. Oh, your cancer is palliative only now, not curative care? Too bad, you waited too long.

The consequences of the consequences of the consequences... if your only reaction is "oh I can't do fun things anymore then, huh?!", well ... if you care about the consequences, you'd make different decisions. If you don't care about the consequences, be honest about it.

Seems she has time now. Perhaps her social calendar opened up?

I've had good fortune with mine whilst travelling around Asia and Australia, will be testing it soon in Europe. Perhaps there's not as many Samsung users where you are?

I've heard lack of helmet makes car drivers give more space as they're more aware of how squishy the rider is. 🤷🏻‍♀️
