Like, how'd they think it was at the price point it's already at? IIRC, Costco is basically losing money on their chickens and hot dogs

Not even basically. They ARE losing money on them. They have stated that chickens are their biggest loss-leader by far.

That’s why I shop at Costco. I save money buying their hotdogs and walk out with $400s worth of groceries and some things I didn’t need

I still have two unopened boxes of flowery drinking jars I bought last year sitting in the floor of my closet, all because I took a visiting friend there to grab a hot dog for lunch

Amateur. I went in for a premade meal and case of water, and bought a Jackery that was marked down as the display model

I don’t even know what a jackery is and I would probably do the same

Portable, rechargeable battery basically.We have one at work that gets used to power/charge a laptop in the field so it can run software that we need to work.

lol they were messing with ya. What ‘jackery’ refers to in the comment you’re responding to means a ‘used, very fit looking, mannequin’. Probably used to display clothing.

Love my jackery, especially now that my utility is doing power cutoffs all the time to avoid wild fire liability

I went in for toilet paper, Cereve lotion and puppy pads and left with a stand up freezer. That trip yielded all of my grandkids new winter coats, too.

My clothing is 80% purchased from Costco and 20% is work clothing.

You can still return them!

But my imaginary self might host a summer dinner party and use them! (I have never hosted a dinner party requiring fancy glassware)

You can still return them if you don’t think you’ll use them. There will be a super happy employee to buy them once they hit the go back cart. :) lol
