Interesting read. I had never realized how much thought goes into the placement of items in Costco, but it makes so much sense. Usually when I go to Costco it's for meats, but I always end up getting a lot more stuff than just meat. Will definitely have to try this $5 chicken sometime.
"Costco’s ex-CEO, Jim Sinegal, was so impassioned about the $1.50 hot dog combo that he once famously told a colleague: 'If you raise [the price of the] effing hot dog, I will kill you.'"
I love this quote. Costco is a great company. In an era of scams, shrinkflation, and degrading quality across the board, it makes me happy to know that at least one company still fights for consumers. I will be a Costco member for years to come.
