During a luncheon at the time, the company’s current CEO, W. Craig Jelinek, said he once told Sinegal they needed to raise the price of the iconic $1.50 hot dog and soda combo - which reportedly has not gone up in price since the 1980s. “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.’ And he said, ‘If you raise (the price of the) effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.’ That’s all I really needed."

[@TheLibraryofLetourneau]

so fucking based

[@parkerlong2658]

Basically the whole entire point of the hot dog isn't to make money it's to help justify spending 300 bucks at a time and also pay for a membership. Basically humans who are hungry aren't happy. So by having a cheap option at there store at all times that can be eaten fast and cleanly it means that basically you remember the good hotdog not the excessive amount of shit you bought that you don't necessarily need. Ikea uses the same tactic.

[@christopherthomas484]

Costco is actually insane. My family was looking for Christmas gifts at the Navy Exchange (store chain on Navy bases for military families. Decent prices, no sales tax), and we found a good laptop for $860. We held off, and later that day went to Costco to get groceries. Lo and behold, Costco has the same exact laptop for $699. Ended up saving over a hundred bucks, even with tax. I love our Costco overlords Edit: Also, NL is so on point with Costco being a carnival. It’s one of the few stores that I look forward to going to.

The best thing about Costco is that they'll just fucking deliver the groceries to you, so you can be smug about your executive membership comfortably at home.

[@isaactfa]

But then people won’t see me smugly flashing my executive membership card at the checkout. How will they know I’m an executive member??

[@AJMC82]

[@fimbleful]

Costco makes most of its money from memberships. They do lose money from most of their court food including the hotdogs and chicken bakes but they also lose money from the rotisserie chickens. It doesn't really matter tho because stuff like that saves them money overall. Essentially all of the amenities make up money from saving on advertising/keeping customers. I mean just look how happy NL was to talk about Costco vs. Walmart lol.

[@chasewilson3693]

They also do make a profit from the stuff they sell. Its only averages like 11% profit, which is far lower than the 40~% of other box/grocery stores, but its nothing to sneeze at. Another area they lose money on, but keep anyways because customers love it, is near unlimited returns. You can return almost anything to a Costco in any condition and they will pay you back in full or give you a replacement if you have the receipt. I once heard about a guy bringing in a 5 year old mattress that was broken down the middle in two pieces bring it in and got a brand new replacement within the hour.

[@edwinmpeguero]

Costco executive membership costs $120/yr. At 2% cash back, total purchases required to break even = $120/.02 = $6000/yr = $500/month. Average grocery cost of family of 4 = $1000. Average savings for a family of 4 = $1000 * .02 = $20/month = $240/year An executive membership can net families $240/year, at the cost of having to always shop at Costco.

[@adamseroka5609]

We also got our Costco card recently... I've heard of people of Walmart, but people of Costco are also a sight to behold. It's like every aisle's brain is powered by a fat lil mouse running on a wheel. Like I've seen people literally press their own restart buttons while buying frozen chicken and I'll watch them reboot in real time, blinking one eye at a time. My lanta, the amount of free range gremlins playing frogger between shopping carts is insane. Edit: The Wings beat the Canucks 5-2. Costcobrain is advancing faster than I thought here.

at staples just for giving them your email and phone number you become a staples now member and get 2% cash back on in store order AND if you spend more than $1000 (i think thats what i was told) there in a year or something you get upgraded to pro membership and its 5% back. and most people who shopped at my staples were regulars and spent a fuck ton on everything
