Costco tourist

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.

tourist

foreign visitors who come to see popular sites and attractions... but are often side-tracked by even simpler things... (a telephone pole, a school bus, a bird, a sandwich) signs of their attraction towards native features: accessive photographing, pointing of fingers

Tourist guide: Here we have an active volcano... it's called Killa wayyah...
Tourist: Umm excuse me!
Tourist guide: Yes ma'am?
Tourist: What's that thing you're holding in your hand?
Tourist guide: this? this is a sandwich, it would be my lunch
Group of Tourists: OoOoooh! Ahhhh.... (snapshots)

Tourist

An individual who takes part in certain activities or attends particular meetings because they are trendy or popular, usually without regard to whether or not such activities or the subject matter of such meetings interest or pertain to them at all.

Marla Singer is such a fucking tourist for attending multiple affliction-specific support group therapy sessions when she doesn't even have any of those diseases.
