$6 for a hot dog? That’s how much Americans now expect to pay. (www.marketwatch.com)

At a Costco? $1.50. At any sort of other public entertainment venue? $10 for the shittiest hot dog you’ve ever seen.

To be fair, Costco has acknowledged they lose money on the sausages (and rotisserie chickens) and use those cheaper items to draw in customers to buy other things they do make money on.

Not gonna lie, I absolutely shop at CostCo because it means I can A) Get a stupid amount of everything to last awhile and B) Get lunch really cheap cuz I’m broke after shopping at CostCo.

Yeah that food court stop is the consolation prize to drain out that last $5 in the account.
