Did shrinkflation not hit america? Everything in that photo is huge, and it's not like the car is small. Even while having a huge car as the background, the food looks huge.

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.

It's very much a thing unfortunately its everywhere. this is just from costco a wholesale retailer you need a paid membership to shop at, hence the large portions and cheap price on it.

Also, the CEO is adamant about keeping it that way.

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."
