A few weeks ago, I walked by this Lindt Chocolates store at Eagan Outlet Mall. It had a window display of bears. Without much thought, I walked in.
I was immediately offered a gingerbread chocolate as a free sample. I thanked the woman and continued to browse as I savoured it.
Another woman came up to me and offered a sample.
"Do you normally give out more than one sample?" I asked her.
"No. Did you get one?" she asked me.
"Yes, which would explain my answer," I replied.
"Oh, I didn't know," she replied.
I knocked off a star in my rating for a lack of communication between staff members handling samples. If I weren't so honest, I would have inhaled two gingerbread chocolates. Not horrible, but it wouldn't sit well with me. At the rate that they are going at, they could slowly lose their inventory with dishonest moochers. They need to give the impression that they know what they are doing.
I was so happy to see no-sugar-added chocolates. I bought a few of them to taste-test. They were yummy. They were also sold by weight, so it can add up if you feel like getting a pound of chocolates.
I went to pay for my items. I didn't know that Lindt has a rewards program, so I signed up for it. I used a credit card to pay for my purchase. Done!
Even though a bought a small bag of chocolates, I brought some of them back to Markham. Still yummy. Still deadly. No complaints here.
If I am craving chocolate, it's worth dropping by this Lindt store. If you feel like getting more than one free sample, I'm sure that you can get away with it!
