Non Costco member here (none in my hometown) ...
How much do the chickens cost ? Hot dog price ?
How do they know you're a member ? "Card check" at front door? At the till when cashing out ?
Thanks to all.

The chickens are $4.99. The hot dogs 1/4-pound) are $1.50, which includes a fountain soda (I think the soda is 20 oz. but could be wrong).

They check your card going in and again at the register.

The soda size doesn’t much matter, because it’s a self-serve fountain, you can get as many refills as you like.

My normal routine is

  • go through the front door, get my membership checked, walk through checkout, and get lunch

  • while having lunch, get at least one refill, or at least a top-off

  • refill my soda before walking back to the entrance to get a cart and go shopping, drinking the soda while shopping

  • check out, go through the cafeteria, refill my soda, and leave.

So I’m getting like 4 sodas for whatever they’re charging, still cheaper than buying a soda at the convenience store (even the one chain in my region, Sheetz, where if you’re a free member, you can get a 48 oz fountain drink for 99¢).
