I was just thinking about this. Costco either loses money on or just barely breaks even on their hotdogs, but they keep selling them at $1.50. It's a part of their brand.
It would be smarter for them to raise the price of their membership another $10/yr to offset the losses than it would to raise the price of their hot dogs another $0.50 to make them profitable.
