But sometimes it has its consequences.
One of them, Ted, is an older fellow who works weekends at Costco, running sample stations. When he shows up they tell him where he'll be working that day. He briefly reads up on the product and sets up a table.
Yesterday, as I picked up some items to feed the teenage horde, I saw him at a table over by the pharmacy and waved.
He yelled "HEY, DOC! I'M SAMPLING ADULT DIAPERS TODAY! GOTTA LEAKY BLADDER? COME ON OVER HERE AND TAKE ONE!"
And he waved a free sample in the air at me.
My kids (and everyone else nearby) cracked up.
I yelled back "Ted, you're a dead man!"

Next week he's working the condom table, and he's waiting for you.
I also love to joke with my physicians. During a skin biopsy I started singing,"I've got you under my skin" in my best Sinatra imitation. I figured she needed some fun during her day. She did.
That gave me a much needed Monday morning after the time change laugh. Thanks, Doc. May your bladder never be leaky.
Actually, considering how out-of-the-way the bathrooms can be at Costco, you might want to take it.
Hope he was waving a dry diaper. Just sayin'. ;-D

ditto Home Depot
Lowes puts them up front to their credit and my gratitude.
So Doc how did they work out
I like Ted.
Jono- I was helping a friend bathe with a broken leg, since she needed help, and I have some medical training (respiratory). I start trying to help her get her rear clean, and she jokingly tells me to clean it like I would my own. So I start singing, "Getting to Know You" and started scrubbing hey rear and not broken leg. We both were dying giggling after about the first line or two, but we needed the ice breaker.
Ted's dead, baby. Ted's dead.
His next visit should be on the house.
How exactly is sampling adult diapers at Costco supposed to work? With the food, you take a sample of whatever, you eat it, and, if you like it enough, you stick it in your cart and buy it. So do you take an adult diaper sample, remove your pants and underwear right there in the store aisle, put the diaper on, and pee in it to see if you like it enough to buy it?
This post in Ask A Manager made me laugh because it's about a medical office & involves a secretary named Mary, so it made me think of you! (Don't worry, I know it's not.)

Migraineur-
You're awesome lol
When my late mother in law was in a nursing home I used to pick up the name brand ones for her as she didn't like the ones the home provided. So I would think if you tried a new brand, found it more comfortable, you would buy that brand instead the next time.
