I went to Costco a couple weeks ago and mentioned that I realized I was pretty hungry while there and got a hot dog. My kid (who has not had a delicious Costco hot dog) suggested that it was an awful experience. While correcting him, it dawned on my spouse and I that we were buying $1.50 Costco hot dogs for decades now and the price hasn’t changed.
So I see that is very intention. I can’t imagine they are making any money on that but it’s still kinda cool. $1.50 for a big/delicious hot dog and a soda was cheap 30 years ago...
Costco employees are paid very well and they after 20 years are eligible for a pension. The executives there have publicly fought to keep their employees a priority instead of changing to meet the demands of the stockholders to raise the share price. Costco jobs are highly sought after.
