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 :(
They changed from Coke to Pepsi outside of Atlanta and did not raise the price. I'm saying it wasn't worth the change from Coke to Pepsi and would rather have a $2 hot dog and soda then a dollar fifty hot dog and toxic waste.

"Fucking" instead of "effing" in the real quote

1984, says Wikipedia

Literally 1984
Johandea@feddit.nu · 29 pts · 2y
Well technically, if it hasn't changed since 1984 it has also not changed since 1985
Asafum@feddit.nl · 4 pts · 2y
Ok, but has it changed since 1986?
:P

Costco loses a good amount of money on the food. The CEO has principles.
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world · 30 pts · 2y
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.
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
True dat. I always wondered why they don’t put the hotdogs in the back to lure people in - like IKEA.

They did get rid of the Polish option, which is too bad cause that was delicious.

What about the reverse Polish?

The sausage is the operator? Not the bun?

I feel like the quality will suffer if the price stays the same forever. Maybe not yet, but some day.
Zanz@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y
Changing to Pepsi wasn't worth no raising the price. Make it $2 with a coke.

I'm sure RC Cola would love the business

I'll take the crab juice.

They're both just awful

Wasn't?
Are you saying they raised it?
PixeIOrange@feddit.de · 1 pts · 2y
Theres a no before raising...
Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y
That's how that parses? God damn.
andyMFK@reddthat.com · 6 pts · 2y
It makes more sense if you change the 'no' to a 'not', at least for me.

It sounds better if I read it in a heavy bayou accent
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 pts · 2y
personally i prefer a scottish accent so thick you can headbutt it

Scrummy turn of phrase, that

I did not know that. Haven't been to a Costco in a few years.

I shudder to think what that hot dog is made of, or the conditions in the factory where it's produced
Seabazz@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 2y
It's decent quality for a hot dog. It's the same for their rotisserie chicken. It's a loss leader
NecessaryWeevil@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
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.
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Same as all the rest. Possible even slightly better.
EpicFailGuy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
You should definitively try my special $10,000 hotdog,
According to your logic it's the best in the world.

It's made of meat?
