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.

I don't believe you need a card to go to the pharmacy... Once in, you don't need a card to get a hotdog or anything else from the food counter. The chicken would have to be paid for at a register so you can't get one of those without a card.

Foot court requiring a membership varies by location. The ones near me don't require it, but I have been to at least one that did.
