Costco free munchies Moving past the time of COVID




I think there is light at the end of this COVID tunnel. Costco’s food court revival is truly a sign of better days ahead! The return of free samples and the legendary hot dog-pizza combo is enough to make any Costco regular rejoice. While seating may still be limited, the takeout option keeps the tradition alive.   If you live or work anywhere near a Costco, chances are you've timed a lunch visit just for the samples. After all, how economical is it to enjoy a free lunch made up of the many samples passed out?

But if the sample selection doesn't quite satisfy your taste, don’t worry Costco’s food court is making its comeback, The Food Court at Costco will once again open its walk-up windows so that we may partake of the foot long hot dog and the over-sized slice of pizza at $1.50 and $2.00 respectively.  Oh, and a soda comes with the hot dog.  It is by far the best lunch deal on the planet.  

My IT colleagues and I could hardly wait for lunch when we sometimes drove to the Costco down the road for our lunch break. IT people look forward to lunch not so much because we are hungry which we are but because we can legitimately take a break from looking at our laptops. Sadly, our office has moved, and Costco runs are a thing of the past. 

So, check your nearest store for the day the food court will open.  Mind you, you will not be able to sit and eat like you did in the good old days pre COVID, but you can carry out. After all isn't eating in your car something you have gotten use to?  (NOT)
