Can you go to Costco without getting a hotdog?
Hot dog is optional.
The $5 rotisserie chicken is not
Genuinely don't like their hotdogs at all. Not at bad as IKEA but there's something just off about them.

As someone on a diet: fuck OP for posting this
And all of that is around $5-6!
If true, that explains a lot. Where I'm from the pizza slice alone costs that much.
Costco is unique in its food court prices, they must be heavy into loss leader territory at this point. It was a really good deal back before covid, and these days it's basically daylight robbery compared to anywhere else.
Not only that, but the food kiosks (at my local location, anyway) don't scan your costco membership either, so you can just walk in the exit and get some food without signing up.
I think it could make sense not to scan for memberships and allow nonmembers to buy the food even through it's a loss leader. If people are coming in for the good deal, especially if they're coming regularly, there's a chance they'll buy a membership and start shopping there
Costco's business model is wild if you look into it. Pretty much every item they sell is a loss-leader for their actual money maker - memberships.
They always get me on higher end frozen food items I end up wanting to try, even though they're not really a better deal than what I could get at Safeway.

:laughs in several hundred dollar Costco bill:
Ahh yes, Costco Man. The provider of life sustaining deals on bulk products.
You know, Costco exists in Europe as well, with the same food order menu.
I (an American) had actually never heard of Costco until I moved to Japan. Where I grew up we had Sam's Club, but no Costco, so when I got to Japan and the other foreigners were talking about how they love getting the chance to go down to Costco, I had no idea what they were talking about.
Didn't see a Costco in person until a few years later.
Sam's club is superior anyway. They have a larger and more stable selection at the same or better prices.

You merely adopted the $4.99 rotisserie chicken.
I was born into it, moulded by it.
Why you didn’t see the $1.49 hotdog meal combo until you were a man.
Well I for one did not know that actually!

It could kill a European, if consumed by a European. However, it is consumed by an American, so it kills an American.
*leans in closer to the food and listens*
– Costco Maaaan!
Nothing beats a cheap slice of pepperoni pizza
Canadian costco has poutine.
The meal is what it is. Collieries for a whole family dinner
But how wide is that center console of your car? Double cup holders side by side?
I can barely have my coffee in my VW FOX and still change to the top row of gears without tripping it over...

That will only kill a European if the American who ate it sat down on the European.
The real crime is eating that in your car
Be me using FSD to hold pizza in one hand, drink in the other, while I mow down children with reckless abandon
