When the guy at the deli counter gives you a free taste

Walk into a grocery store and you’re surrounded by freshly misted lettuce, bubbling lobster tanks, and hot croissants rolling out of the oven. With your pupils dilated and mouth watering, there’s nothing finer than rolling your crookedywheel cart by the deli counter and making some subtle eye contact with the deli man.

We both know that when you’re surrounded by fresh food in all directions you suddenly start jonesing for a fix. So you press your hands on the curved glass and gaze longingly at the giant hunks of pink and salty goodness shining at you under the bright lights.

You know what to do: Place your order, reach your hands out, and get ready for those thinly shaved slices to touch your tongue and send you on a salty trip far, far away.

Also applies to sample cookies at the bakery.

AWESOME!
