Try getting free samples off the internet they may or may not send it but it is usually hassle free-don't just pay for postage or anything like that or give out too much info to the free sample giver.

Given what they're usually offering as samples where I shop, I'm usually happy about this.

Worst when shopping at your neighborhood adult store...  (yikes)

That's not why I go shopping so it doesn't really bother me. I never get the samples even when they ARE offering; I'm not much for accepting food from people I don't know, call me wierd haha.

Not a problem for me. In grocery stores, someone's always offering me a taste of something I 'd just as soon not taste, and at the mall, I always runs the gauntlet of enterprising ladies wanting me to sniff some new overpriced perfume.

There are always free samples. Just walk over to the aisle that has the help yourself candies. You know, the bin with the separate compartments filled with candies and the little shovels on the side and plastic bags next to them. And you are supposed to fill up a bag and pay for it up front, but instead you take a few and eat them while you're walking around. I don't think they audit the candy bin very carefully.

As much as I sometimes like to try new things, this doesn't really bother me at all. Whether I get a free sample or not, it's fine with me, just the same. Now, if I were the one running the sample table, that would cause reason for some stress for everyone else!
