Context: the founder of Costco, Jim Sinega, once told the CEO that if they raised the price of the hotdog + soda combo he’d kill him.

That CEO should've been booted immediately if they were too stupid to understand the concept of 'loss leader'.

It’s messing with me that there’s a Pepsi on her shirt and on the sign in the background, but she’s holding a Coke.

Are the condiment packets also lore accurate? The last time I went to Costco was a few years ago and I remember them still using the dispensers.

Looks like a couple on a date who just bought an oversized teddy bear and a Footlocker employee passed out on a table

Is the white stuff supposed to be onions, sour kraut, rice, or cottage cheese? 🤨

It’s onions. Costco has them at the condiments bar.

Used to.

Yeah I wasn’t sure if they still do. I honestly haven’t paid attention the last few times I went.

Gotta ask for them at the counter now

But they're always out

They also used to have kraut

He told me he was going to Costco. How'd they find it later in a pond outside Chicago? Why you only holler when it's Contra in a foxhole? Why you never pop in with some tacos and an Optimo?
