Seems to have happened to everything but Costco's food court. I guess it's a strategy to get people in the door. Their hotdog/drink combo is still $1.50.

But as of a few months ago, they're no longer available to non-members. And the hot dogs are indeed a loss leader, a delicious loss leader.

Adamant is putting it lightly. The co-founder apparently told his CEO successor:

"If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out."
