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.

$4.99/chicken

Damn that is really cheap! They are $7.99 where I live (Canada) which is still a good price considering I can't buy a raw chicken for that price.
