NEW YORK (AP) â When Pat Curry spotted bite-sized wood-fire rotisserie chicken with portabella mushroom at her local Costco in early June, she felt âgiddy.” After a 14-month hiatus, free samples were back.
âIt was one of the markers that told me that we turned a corner,” said the 60-year-old who lives in Augusta, Georgia. âItâs the little things that you do that were taken away, and now theyâre back.”

But now with vaccinations rolling out and the threat of COVID-19 easing in the U.S., stores like Costco are feeling confident enough to revive the longstanding tradition.
