Costco is one of the nation's most charming wholesale stores. It's like an exclusive club! You want something in bulk? Costco's got your back. You want surprisingly solid deals? Costco's right there with you, giving you what you need! But even Costco is tasked with holding the full weight of inflation without its knees buckling.
The Costco food court is a similar phenomenon where the food -- for a gimmick food court -- is pretty good, actually! Well, maybe not the pizza, but that's an argument we can have later. You're here about the hot dog combo.
We're good, y'all. I'm not going to be mean and lead you on longer than I have to! There was a growing concern we'd lose such a luxury following other working-man establishments like McDonald's forgetting how it amassed its wealth and turning its back on us. Inflation is playing for keeps, after all. If we don't have the Costco $1.50 hot dog deal, we have nothing.
Plus, they ain't exactly struggling financially.
Per Fox Business, Costco's CFO, Gary Millerchip, said, "While I can't promise to be able to match the humor that Richard Galanti has become famous for, I can promise the same level of open dialogue and transparency you've come to expect," Millerchip assured. "Oh, and to clear up some recent media speculation, I also want to confirm the $1.50 hot dog price is safe."
Probably helps when former management says, "If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out."
