And all of that is around $5-6!
If true, that explains a lot. Where I'm from the pizza slice alone costs that much.
Costco is unique in its food court prices, they must be heavy into loss leader territory at this point. It was a really good deal back before covid, and these days it's basically daylight robbery compared to anywhere else.
Not only that, but the food kiosks (at my local location, anyway) don't scan your costco membership either, so you can just walk in the exit and get some food without signing up.
I think it could make sense not to scan for memberships and allow nonmembers to buy the food even through it's a loss leader. If people are coming in for the good deal, especially if they're coming regularly, there's a chance they'll buy a membership and start shopping there
