In 2009, the Seattle Times asked Costco co-founder (and then-CEO) Jim Sinegal, "If [the price of the hot dog] ever goes up, what will it mean?" Sinegal replied, "That I'm dead."

Craig Jelinek, Sinegal's successor as CEO, revealed in 2018 that he approached Sinegal about raising the price of the hot dog combo, saying, "Jim, we can't sell this hot dog for a buck fifty. We are losing our rear ends." According to Jelinek, Sinegal replied, "If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out."

Yo Costco hot dog is great. It isn't perfect but it serves its $1.50 purpose. The utility hot dog.

Was near a Costco today and decided to grab a hot dog for lunch. Turns out, you now need a membership to buy from the food court.

Sigh, the decline of civilization continues

Nobody likes it, they like feeling thrifty after buying a bootload of pickles or whatever the fuck

I love me some hot dogs.

I do not like Costco hot dogs. There. I said it.

I used to like their Polish dogs but they got rid of them to cut costs. I didn't renew my membership after that.

I never get the hotdog. It's all about the chicken bake.

Don't understand the thing with the food court. The five buck chickens are huge but I have tried and not been impressed by the food court fair including the hot dogs. I get that they are cheap but the whole chickens are cheap and yummy.
