Return of the Samples?

One thing lots of us like about Whole Foods is their pretty active sampling program, so that we can taste all sorts of products before buying. But ever since the Pearl Street store opened its expansion about a month ago, the samples there have totally disappeared, at least at the times I've visited. (I'm not counting the heavily guarded cheese samples doled out to worthy supplicants from behind the glass at the cheese counter.) Today however, I saw three vendors sampling their wares, with a fourth setting up. Now if they'd only bring back the plastic domes filled with bread, cheese cubes, and other goodies.

Meanwhile, rearrangement of the Pearl Street store continues, with meat now located where the bakery formerly was, and dairy has moved to the corridor between the old and new sections. In with the new!
