A person who goes to Costco for the purpose of only eating the samples and getting in other people's way with abolutely no intention of buying anything in the store. Person may or may not be pushing an empty cart to further disrupt the flow of traffic through the store.
On Martha's 80th birthday, she decided she would do what she does every other day and be a Costco tourist, as she enjoys nothing more than making her daily pilgrimage to Costco. Today she decided she would only make 30 trips around the store, as she scarfs down each free sample offering on each pass while pushing her empty cart to keep others away and obstruct the flow of traffic down the main aisles.

Get the Cost 10 elixir mug.A "Transitional Living Program" based on bureaucratic rules, arbitrary grades, and false promises. At ICR, there are a few key phrases one must understand in order to be successful here.
See if you can follow this easy-to-read translation of staff's favorite phrases and what they actually mean!
"I've been looking into it"---I have not been looking it.
"I'm working very hard on it"--I thought about working on it, once, but let the thought pass.
"We have had budget cuts"--The founder of the program decided to increase his own salary again, siphoning the money from the program's account (which the students pay for)
"We have to walk to the gym today"--The founder of the program got drunk and passed out in the van somewhere far away, rendering it useless for transporting the group.
"It's not about THEM, it's about YOU!"--I do not know what to tell you, but I read somewhere that telling you this will be helpful.
