Costco Observation

Why, when I go to Costco and make the rounds eating the free samples do I feel obligated to stand there and pretend I'm interested in buying the product? I pick it up, examine the ingredients, sometimes even ask where they are located, knowing that I have no intention of buying. I'm guessing the people making the samples could give a crap if I buy or not, yet there I am, putting on a big production of how interested I am in the frozen Shu Mai, like somehow my interest validates their self-worth.

Am I the only one who does this?
