    “Fucking” instead of “effing” in the real quote

      The food court and samples is a loss leader, also it anchors people to the perception that Costco is cheap.

      They loose money on the hotdog, but gain money on the foot traffic. It’s good for business at the end of the day.

        Another is the rotisserie chicken which they put in the back of the store.

          True dat. I always wondered why they don’t put the hotdogs in the back to lure people in - like IKEA.

      It will be a sad day when they pass. The next in line almost never carries the same principles, they need to “prove themselves” and ruin so much for the customer in the name of profit :(

    Changing to Pepsi wasn’t worth no raising the price. Make it $2 with a coke.

    I feel like the quality will suffer if the price stays the same forever. Maybe not yet, but some day.

    I shudder to think what that hot dog is made of, or the conditions in the factory where it’s produced

      It’s decent quality for a hot dog. It’s the same for their rotisserie chicken. It’s a loss leader

      It turns out that Costco hotdogs are some of the most highly rated in the industry. You can also buy bags of them in the frozen section.

      Same as all the rest. Possible even slightly better.

      You should definitively try my special $10,000 hotdog,

      According to your logic it’s the best in the world.
