One of my gripes about this price point is that they downgraded the buns they use with their hot dogs a few years ago. They used to be these tasty, substantial picnic rolls, but now they're bland and bready. I'd happily pay a few cents more to get the better buns.
The real kicker is that if you look at the photo of the hotdogs in their food courts (in SoCal, at least), the photos are of the old, picnic style buns and NOT what they are serving today - a bait-and-switch (bake-and-switch?) if you ask me...
- flyGuyOnTheSly 8y agoThe buns are declining in quality... you have to ask for the free toppings now (like onions and sourkraut which were always kept in the condiments counter until a year or two ago). They are now kept in carefully measured tiny plastic containers completely void from view. And the quality of the "meat" inside has dropped off a cliff in recent years. I don't enjoy them at all anymore, where as I used to go into Costco sometimes just to get their hotdogs. It's not the same $1.50 hotdog when they change literally everything about it.
- washadjeffmad 8y agoThat's local to your area. We still have the hand crank onions and ketchup/mustard/brown mustard/relish dispensers, and the dogs have been the same in my region for at least the last six years.

- Waterluvian 8y agoWasn't there some thing about people making massive plates of "kimchi" with those free condiments?
- flyGuyOnTheSly 8y agoPerhaps, I have no idea, I certainly wasn't!
- nasredin 8y agoThe kids here use the same cup for soda refills for years or until it disintigrates, or the faded colors or outdated color scheme gives the little punks away.
