Nah, the hotdogs work like that, but it's more about the experience
I mean, Costco will take your money and do all sorts of organizational psych to entice you to buy more, but they always had certain morals, as companies go. They always try to give you a lot for what you buy, and they had public good initiatives - like you can get great prices on prescription eyewear and pretty good vision appointments without a membership. It's not like they were losing out, but they're willing to miss out on some profits when it comes to health needs.
It's the way businesses used to be - not that long ago they'd give you all sorts of free stuff and even sell stuff at a loss to gain customer loyalty.
... Sorry I meant you could do that. They cut that program, and are cracking down on people sharing cards. The hotdogs getting jacked up in price might not be far behind
At this point, just getting what you're promised in reasonable quality is about the best it gets, and you really can't take that for granted anymore...
