Costco to resume free samples in June

SSAQUAH, WA (CNN) — Costco members have something to look forward to — the return of free samples, according to a CNN report.

The warehouse club stopped offering free samples of food items in March due to COVID-19 concerns.

That free food is extremely popular among some members.

Costco’s CFO said on an earnings call Thursday that those samples are coming back in mid-June, but wouldn’t say exactly how.

He did say it won’t be like the old way, where members were allowed to pluck the samples from a tray.

It’s also unclear how shoppers will be able to eat that free food.

Costco requires everyone in its warehouses to wear masks.
