Same reason drug dealers give out samples

[–] Willy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

why drug dealers? not really known for their samples except in DARE films. I think Costco would be a better example. are they doing that again btw?

Costco stopped samples for like barely a month, at least where I was at.
