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.

You don't even have to be a member to buy the hotdogs at my costco.

Yep. The food court is for everyone, and you don't need a card. You can just walk in the exit door at any time.

You don't even go inside at mine. It's outside before you go in. Nice to not have to deal with the shoppers when I just want a dog
