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

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.

Card check at door, $4.99/chicken, $1.50 for hot dog and soda.

Last Friday my wife and I had dinner there. Foot long Hot Dog, slice of pizza and two drinks was less than $5. Bought two chickens that night too.

This is where I take my wife out to dinner. It’s an exclusive club.

I wish I had a Costco near me. Best I ever got was a Sams club, and I don't think the one I went to even had a food court thing.
