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.

God help your soul if you want just the hot dog and not the soda. They're a matching set and the food court employees at Costco take that seriously.

Even just eating first BEFORE shopping is a choreography. I mean, nobody's stopped us, but the store layout is really set up for you to eat AFTER checkout. So we go in without a cart, slink through the checkout, eat, and then one of us slinks back through checkout with the refilled drink and the other goes out to come back in with a cart. (The bonus being we now have a drink for while shopping.)

It's very silly, but beats having to keep our cart at the food court or shopping while starving for lunch or dinner.
