Genuinely painful, Arizona is the last drink at a decent price in this country

It's often cheaper than water

It's also 50% sugar

How long until Costco has to increase the price of their hot dog and drink combo?

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

probably never. has always been a loss leader so further loss won't matter.
they'll just increase prices on everything else to match.

Yeah I used to spend about $400 at Costco a month, and it quickly escalated to almost $800 a month recently.

If Costco raises the price of the hotdog, it will definitely be the death nail of Amerikkka. (I just meant my previous comment as a joke.)

think I remember reading that the Costco CEO said he'd fire anyone who suggested raising it. or maybe he was saying they'd have to kill him to raise it? anyway it was very unequivocal but I don't care enough to look it up now that web search is so annoying

I'm aware of the story. I could imagine after the Costco CEO retires or passes away, Costco may undergo enshittification eventually.

This is actually shocking. Well not that shocking.
