To be fair, those are 100% beef hotdogs that they sell at a loss. There’s a reason someone suggested increasing the price despite being met with threats of violence from the CEO (president?) in response for that suggestion.
To my knowledge, I don’t think you have to have a membership to get food at Costco. I’m pretty sure the optical shop and pharmacy are available to non-members as well.
You’re probably still right about pharmacy but the Costcos around me now require you to scan your membership card at the food court registers before you can order anything.
Require or ask? I think technically it’s not required, but you have to pass two polite barriers (entrance and to order) to get there so you reallllly have to want $1.50 hot dogs.
Around here you scan your card for store entry; it’s no longer just flashing the card at the door employee, and the last Costco I visited had a smaller side door open for returns and membership lines. No more entry through the exit.
That one has the food court inside the store and I haven’t stopped recently so I’m not sure if you need to scan the card to place an order there; however the Costco by my work has an exterior food court and you cannot use the register to place an order without scanning your membership card. They don’t take orders at the counter.
That’s unfortunate. I kinda was chill with Costco’s membership when it was easy to bypass. Still use their tire pumps shhh don’t tell, hope they don’t add card readers to them too :(
Costco hotdogs with a drink, still cheaper.

Not really a loss either. They charge $60 for membership.

The one near me no longer has people taking orders. To get food, you scan your card at a kiosk and order through a touch screen.
Oh damn I haven’t been to a Costco for a while I guess
