Rant post!

How the hell did bgw get away with changing the free daily samples to a weekly basis. Who do they think they are. Like wtf. I just now realized this after the event already started. It was just about a week ago I screenshot the image below about us getting 1 free samples per visit too. No warning or nothing.

Everything i managed to try yesterday was great. No complaints from me about what i tried. However, on a Thursday and opening day the lines for samples were crazy for some. Italy, Brazil, Africa, and Virginia booths had the longest lines. Maybe just bad timing on my part but these booths always seem to be a struggle. I want to enjoy a f&w sample not suffer for one. Why wait till 3pm to start. And close everything at 630pm. Im still confused by this. And where was herbal Infusions? Jk , iykyk.
