I'd agree if it was Costco pizza instead. Legit my favourite pizza.
What's the hype about Costco hotdog anyway? I swear I tried it and it was just fine?
Frick, I wish I could order Uber from Costco.
It's 1.50 with a fricking drink you souless israeli magnate.
How is it so cheap.
>“I came to (Sinegal) once and I said, ‘Jim, we can’t sell this hot dog for a buck fifty. We are losing our rear ends,'” Jelinek said. “And he said, ‘If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.'”
they possess the true American spirit

i stopped buying a lot of fast food shit because they raised the prices and lowered the amount of stuff, on fries for example
El polo loco has a burrito combo for $5.50 in my area still. McSlop combos are like $10-12.
mcdonalds fries are fricking $5
this is when i knew the west had fallen
sams club does the same thing, its on the way to my house going literally anywhere. i can still stop here a few times a week to get full for $4.91 in bidens america
I am fricking kneeling.
He'll die soon, and they'll raise the price.
well then costco will collapse under the weight of it's failures within a week
I'm sure there's at least a minimum of like 100 americans willing to slay a man over overpriced dogs.
It will be up to all of us to uphold his legacy.
its settled, then
>uses even shittier ingredients to make their slop
>"BASED BASED BASED"
Everyone replying to this is moronic.
Because they don't, the only hint of that thus far has been the chicken bake, for the hotdogs they just eat the loss to help get people in the door. Same as their chicken prices.
They are gone, gay the true defender was top share holder from berkshire who died during chink flue charles munger, then the last one left to defend the dog was a CFO who was longest serving in the country who started from the bottom of the warehouse. COSTCO IS NOW IN CONTROL BY MBA gayS AND BLACK ROCK, THAT CFO HAD NO MORE FIGHT IN HIM AND NONE OF HIS SUCCESSORS WANT TO TAKE THE MANTLE SO THEY HIRED OUT SIDE. THEY HIRED A KROGER CFO WHO BOUGHT A COMPETING GROCERY STORE THAT WAS A NONE UNION SHOP LIKE KROGER STORES, CLOSED THE KROGER STORES AND RENAMED THEM AS COMPETING GROCERY STORE'S NAME AND MADE ALL THE KROGER EMPLOYEES APPLY FOR THE SAME JOB IN THE SAME PLACE JUST NOT UNIONIZED IN.His entire job that thank god he failed was fricking taking over ablerston and merging it with kroger
He will kill them
>lose money infesting every facet of american existence with radio ads, tv ads, internet ads, billboard ads, and newspaper ads

>OY VEY THINK OF THE SHAREHOLDERS
It's literally illegal to not make all the money you can make for publicly traded companies.
loss leader, they intentionally take a loss on an item like that to get you into the store with the hopes you will buy something else on your way out that they do have some profit on.
It's Costco, it's fair to say they will genuinely make up the loses. A customer buying a hot-dog on their way out might as well be a tip, especially if another family member or whatever wants to order something else, like a slice of pizza or an ice cream.
They also cap their net profits at about 14-15% for most items, fun fact.
Their stock did fricking amazing during COVID.
They sell it at a loss.
But they also do a frick ton of things to control the entire distribution of it to cut costs as much of possible.
Don't you need to literally pay for a membership card to shop at Costco? That combined with the fact that they sell a ton of shit in bulk sounds like it'd cover costs I guess
what i save on gas and hotdogs pays for the membership in 3 months alone
>How is it so cheap.
Great question with really interesting answers, see:
Costco does three things that generate them impressive profits, keeps them competitive, and allows them to sell things as such low cost:
-Memberships are a major source of profit for them. The Membership program essentially costs nothing to run and is basically pure profit.
-Costco price controls everything in their cafeteria: hotdogs, pizza, the chicken bake, it's all kept at intentionally low cost to move people into the store and encourage membership purchase - some Costco have members only cafeterias. The Deli in the store also has price controlled roasted chicken and other meals.
-Costco buys and sells exclusively in bulk (which is already a money saving strategy on their part) and is extremely aggressive with their supply lines in order to ensure the lowest possible wholesale prices. This is not limited to simply creating these supply points. Costco, when chicken became too expensive for them, they spent 1 billion dollars establishing a massive chicken farm and chicken processing plant in Nebraska to meet all their national needs.
*Even the infamous Costco hot dog was originally sourced by a israeli food company: Hebrew National, until maybe 2010 when it became too expensive and Costco decided to open their own massive hot dog plant in ?California?
Interesting, I'm the third guy you linked. Didn't know about the chicken farm. Thanks for the info
thanks chatGPT
this whole time i thought costco was 60 dollars a month not year
thats pretty cheap
Yep, 5 bucks a month to filter out the worst tiers of subhumans and get access to decent enough savings to make up for it if you have storage space or can just use it fast enough. Best savings are on the fundamental goods like meat and cheese and gas so don't just get snacks and you're golden.
>so don't just get snacks
Yes
snacks are cheap too but nowhere near as cheap as other shit, don't just get them like I see a bunch of people walking out do
snacks though
Aside from the bulk groceries and food court shit I did the math with my car's fuel economy and I'm saving more money every year just getting petrol from there than the membership is worth, that's what really sold it to me.
Based. I am doing the math now and I will save at least 15 cents a gallon. At least 10 gallons a week. Hmmm
>people pay a standardized fee to enjoy the benefits of a well run system that benefits those who have paid in to it
This is how Socialism is supposed to work.
Is it? Sounds like taxation done right.
>Costco decided to open their own massive hot dog plant
that's what Kirkland is
Costco can keep food prices low because they have their own in-house food production company
Anyone have the Greentext talking about he corporate future where a Walmart peon obtains a Costco card and is liberated to paradise.
>Costco literally started their own hot dog manufacturing plant to get away from the israelites
Damn, bruv
I used to get the hotdog, drink, and a slice of pizza for $3.50 every time I went by Costco. Like the hotdog, the pizza slice is massive and almost doesn't fit on the plate. That meal would be enough to sate me for an entire day.
How many fricking calories is that you hideous lardass?

Shinji Mikami once promised Nintendo to cut his hands if RE4 went for a console other than GameCube as part of exclusive deal, but the game flopped so bad on GC that Capcom couldn't care about Mikami and ported the game to PS2
>sell hotdog at cost
>more people buy hotdog
>people are already there so they buy other stuff
>earn goodwill with customers and again, means more clients
it's pretty basic
They sell at loss. It was at cost ages ago
Same reason they give away free samples of food in every other aisle.
Because of the literal tens of thousands of people with active memberships that only ever go once every other year.
People act like this is an amazing deal, ut you can buy a whole pack of hot dogs for $1.69 per pound and just make your own.
homie it's a hot dog, they aren't exactly known for being pricey.
You know and I'm being really serious right now when I say this, most modern families and people in homes are too lazy to cook. This is evident by the fact that all food establishments in the US regardless of health afflictions, quality or convenience are immensely successful. Microwave meals are popular as are eating carry out and fast food. Sure you could save money by buying some chicken from a local store, look up a recipe, cook it and actually get some nutrients from it...but thats work. Most people can barely stand waking up to work 8 hour jobs for ungrateful children and spouses now add chores, cooking and maybe 1-2 hours of freetime a week to that.
It's a fricking hot dog, just put a sausage on a slice of bread and you're done
How can you put this garbage into your body? This is why I'm a vegan.

Enjoy suffering from malnutrition, vegoon
Do they actually lose money on this though? Pop is basically free, most cost comes from the cup. Hot dogs are also really cheap. This one is slightly bigger than average and it is allegedly beef, but it still can't cost a dollar.
It's made with real pig anus
100% beef you cretin
>not including the $60 subscription paywall
The Costco food court is variable in quality and cost. The hot dog and pizza are pretty decent and quite cheap, while the new sandwiches and the salad are expensive and dogshit. I like the new chocolate chip cookie too, it's massive like Crumbl's cookies for half the price.
I can't eat hot dogs, anon.
the world ends with you
I slipped on pee pee money at the Costco and got a $40,000 settlement.
That would only be about 75k now, and would get him far less.

how hard is it to understand that the hotdog is there to attract and retain customers to shop at costco? do you stop to ask why chains seemingly lose money by giving you a member discount?
the stupid hotdog probably gets way more press and attention than any shitty viral marketing campaign could come up with, just think of it as a marketing expense. the costco founder even said so himself
>When asked why the price of the hot dog was significant to him, Jim Sinegal said, "Because everybody talks about it.
>People look at that hot dog and say a buck fifty, this is unbelievable." He continued, "We're known for that hot dog. That's something you don't mess with."
Because in the current marketing world, the consumer is used to being blatantly spit on the face and to feel thankful for it, lest they want to be ridiculed by fellow consoomers.
It's extremely unusual to see a company in 2020+4 which builds a consumer-base by treating their customers nicely (aka. promising them they will always find a cheap, quality meal whenever they shop with them).

This is so fricking true. Customer or company loyalty is fricking dead. You can only get a good deal or better wages by constantly hopping around.
I remember when the longer you stayed with an insurance company, the lower your rates. Now your rates go up because they lowball the frick out of you for the initial quote, and make it up on the renewal. It's better to just renew once, then go to another company.

How come Ganker doesn't have threads like this? Ganker is literally Black person trump sonic Obama inu crypto threads instead of shit like this.
because video games
Ganker were the ones who told me to invest in COST in the first place
the real Ganker is in /smg/, the other threads are for morons just go to /smg/ and sometimes /pmg/ and stack Monero
Two reasons:
1. Ganker is great at discussing topics that aren't video games
2. Ganker is a moronic, shitpost board
>How come Ganker doesn't have threads like this?
Ganker isn't interested in learning how the world works.
Ganker has become so unironically swarmed with bitcoin scams, beggers, etc.. That it recently put a sticky up that they'll be demanding temporary passwords for posting to negate the literal 300 bans a week they're averaging due to spam & scammers.
In the same way that Ganker is composed almost entirely of marketers dumping out a dozen threads every minute for AAA filth and literally who youtube channels, Ganker is 99% shitcoin peddlers desperate for the next pump-and-dump that doesn't peak at a fraction of a cent.
Ganker was made to get all the crypto threads off of Ganker
There's so much interesting stuff one could discuss about finances, but that board was born as a honeypot for neets in a bucket of crabs trying to shill and scam each other.
I guess the problem is that in order to understand the bare basics of finance, you have to know how the world works, get out there, have the capital to buy shit beyond anime figurines and have a job.
>why doesn't [board] have good [on-topic] threads
Because every board is filled to the brim with malicious shitposters that spend all day ruining every on-topic thread they can find for (You)s
The off-topic ones fly below their radar so you get actual humans posting in them. This goes for video game threads, too.
>The off-topic ones fly below their radar so you get actual humans posting in them
Even the weird fetish porn threads are better for actual discussion than the pseudo political vidya shitpost threads.
Ganker is just too fast nowadays for anywhere near mainstream discussion to get properly humored
I mean part of the issue also is there isn't really much good to talk about recent game wise.
And by design a lot of these games really don't want any sort of organic community goings ons
>buy a chicken bake at the cafeteria
>delicious, horrible and greasy but delicious
>buy a box of the frozen ones
>straight terrible and 90% bread
why
how many do they make vs how many do you make, it's a matter of knowing how to do it right
You used a microwave... Use a real oven and the frozen chicken bake will be delicious as frick as well
>No membership
>Go into the store
>When the person at the front asks to see a card, just say you're going to the pharmacy they'll let you in
>Eat all the food samples you want and then get a really cheap meal
Also works for Sam's
The pharmacy also has the best prices around. I'd get my adderall, benzos, and a hot dog, all without membership. Good shit.
>Buy 3 months worth of meds for the price of one month everywhere else
Costco really is the true American citizenship
for me it's those 7-Eleven taquitos and buffalo chicken rollers, literally got me through college
Fricking hell I thought I was the only one who loved those.
7/11 unironically has good shit.
Nobody these days. Nobody stands for anything.
>Nobody these days. Nobody stands for anything.
Man
I think Gabe Newell is the closest thing I can think of but he's now into brain interface crap and once he dies Valve is FRICKED
I love these things especially when I can get em at a discount
I will do dangerous things to get a 7-11 Taquito
7/11 always smells like a fricking chemical spill
every single one of them
it's insane
you literally just dont even want to go inside one because of how bad it smells
I'd actually go to a 7/11 and buy stuff there, if they stocked the Japanese 7/11 Gundam models.
Welp, time to try them when I go to the office next.
>New 7-Eleven opened up walking distance from me
>They have a "restaurant" in store instead of the goodass 7 eleven food
I know this is such a pathetic consumerist thing to complain about, but I fricking hate that. I despise that shit.
When I go to 7-11 I expect every single one to be exactly the fricking same. When a 7-11 opens up in my town It should be what I've come to expect out of every other 7-11 and not some 'experiment'.
I don't think there's anything "pathetic" about being annoyed at the not have of chicken buffalo rollers at your 7/11
>t.
People eat this?
no, theyre just for decoration
Damn those fricking slap. A couple of those and a cream soda dr pepp and I’m set.
>at a gas station
>run in to grab a shitty hot dog (hadn't eaten all day)
>couple behind the counter, one of em didn't work there
>see the roller's empty, despair sets in
>go up to pay for my drink, they're chomping down on taquitos
>ask if they have any extra
>"Nah, we're out of these. Got a bunch of dogs left over, though. You want em? We're throwing them out otherwise."
>leave with 10 fricking dogs free of charge, an easy 3 days of food
>also weed for some reason (it was good weed)
Good people make life worth living, that's just how it is.
Some people smile at the world constantly, hoping for that one smile back.
I was kind of surprised to find out they give out food at my local gas station too recently. It's a local chain where I live and I went in there to find out why my card at the pump wasn't working and they had some warm breakfast sandwiches on the counter they were just giving away because they were about to put the lunch shit on and needed to get rid of them. I didn't have breakfast so I figured I'd take one but after going home and reading what was actually in that thing I lost my appetite. I don't know how an egg and cheese muffin can have like 50 ingredients in it but I can't say I didn't expect it.
No guys, seriously, just keep it to /smg/ and /pmg/ and ignore Ganker's catalog it's LITERALLY that simple.
And don't buy the fricking penny stocks.

>anons question unusual business choice
>within a few posts it is plainly explained how such a thing generates more profit in other ways
And all the stories you ever hear from businesses surrounding these matters are suits shouting "what the FRICK we need profit NOW raise prices 150% fricking IMMEDIATELY" and if they do they crash and burn. How are they incapable of grasping these things?
Happened near where I work
>laneway with plenty of shops and restaurants
>owners raise rent
>couple close down as they can't afford it
>raise rent to compensate the loss
>more places close because they can't afford it
>raise rent again
Now the entire thing is empty and they earn nothing.
i bet they learned nothing and just blame it on the renter's "laziness".
No idea exactly. Thankfully most of the food places I liked just relocated somewhere nearby.
this is boomers force big box slop chains in (or create food deserts) to "stimulate the economy".
Two of the stores were chain stores interestingly.
Legit the only time I have ever seen a 711 close.
incompetence and laziness
you need to understand that in every field, every walk of life, 90% of the people are lazy and or incompetent.
ESPECIALLY people in corporate jobs.
why would suits give a frick, they'll be golden parachuting into another company within two years anyway
>raise prices
>refuse to elaborate
>leave company
works every time
I genuinely do not understand the near incestuous circle jerk of executives jumping between companies.
Think of it like this. Being an executive is like playing a roguelite. The goal is to see number go up. So you start up the game, go through the motions (you've played through the starting area a hundred times) and finally get to the good part. Your upgrades between runs means that you should get farther this time, but oops!, you fell into that same pitfall again. Stupid, stupid. Time to restart the run. This time you'll make it to the end for sure! There is no ending, the developer never finished the fricking game.
Something to take note of is also that their high score pays out to the Shareholders so its in the best interest of those Shareholderrs to hire on Score Chasing CEOs over trying to beat the game anyway.

Do you have a Sam's club? It is the Walmart version of Costco
They raised the price on the Ikea hotdogs and I am still mad.
We need more gamerfuel threads, lads
I feel like hotdogs would be better if they slightly toasted the bun
My local Costco changed to a business center, lost the cafeteria, and in its place, I see a lot more poos bulk buying inventory for their own stores. Wished they still carried vidya or electronics.
I was told by a cashier that business centers don't even have a food court? Is that true? No muffins?
The cafeteria section was repurposed as a breakroom (kitchen)/car spotlight (tables and chairs) for customers to buy. No dedicated deli for sliced hams, fresh meats, chicken, fish, nor baked goods. You can still buy pre-packaged forzen items in the big freezer section. It suck that the nearest Costco is either in a questionable neighborhood or way too far away, the exact same thing applies to the Sam's club. Thank goodness Cermak and Aldi are close by me and have 2 microcenters I can locally go to.

Eating a Costco Hot Dog Instead of Hanging Yourself Simulator 2023
theres too many asian people at costco, i go to super store
I haven't eaten fast food in 4 years. It used to be that I'd stroll past chain restaurants and get drawn in by the smell like a cartoon character, but after my work left me spending more time in the sticks I stopped going. Now when I walk past these places they just smell like shit and don't beguile me at all.
Did I do it? Did I finally penetrate the veil and free myself?

Which place has your favorite sausage roll, Nigel? I've heard they're quite popular over there.
Probably Greggs, but I don’t really care for sausage rolls besides the ones I make myself.
My guess is someone from school complained about the kids eating fatty foods.
Unlikely, because A) it was a nationwide thing, and B) they kept all the sugary donuts and toffee yumyums and shit.
Whoever discontinued the twists needs to be fricking hanged.
i had a large ballpark hotdog once and i've spent my whole life chasing the high of the most perfectly delicious hotdog i've ever had and the only thing that comes close is a costco hotdog.
