Context: the founder of Costco, Jim Sinega, once told the CEO that if they raised the price of the hotdog + soda combo he’d kill him.

    That CEO should’ve been booted immediately if they were too stupid to understand the concept of ‘loss leader’.

    It’s messing with me that there’s a Pepsi on her shirt and on the sign in the background, but she’s holding a Coke.

      It’s actually lore appropriate. Costco has been a Pepsi establishment for a long time and just recently switched to Coke. So the T shirt is accurate, and so is the Coke in hand.

        Are the condiment packets also lore accurate? The last time I went to Costco was a few years ago and I remember them still using the dispensers.

          Oh good eye. Mine still has pumps for the mustard and ketchup but they don’t have the onions and relish anymore, you have to bother the kitchen for a cup of onions.

          This meme is a travesty.

      Looks like a couple on a date who just bought an oversized teddy bear and a Footlocker employee passed out on a table

    He told me he was going to Costco. How’d they find it later in a pond outside Chicago? Why you only holler when it’s Contra in a foxhole? Why you never pop in with some tacos and an Optimo?

    Is the white stuff supposed to be onions, sour kraut, rice, or cottage cheese? 🤨

      It’s onions. Costco has them at the condiments bar.

          Yeah I wasn’t sure if they still do. I honestly haven’t paid attention the last few times I went.
