Well technically, if it hasn't changed since 1984 it has also not changed since 1985
Ok, but has it changed since 1986?
:P
Costco loses a good amount of money on the food. The CEO has principles.
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 :(
a man's gotta have a code
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?
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.
I did not know that. Haven't been to a Costco in a few years.
Theres a no before raising...
That's how that parses? God damn.
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
personally i prefer a scottish accent so thick you can headbutt it
Scrummy turn of phrase, that
I miss the polish dogs so much :(
