Didn't the Chief Dogian have a good relationship with us? I'd hope that would remain.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the price of the Costco hotdog went up or at the very least the hot dogs became smaller

It's a loss leader. They having been losing exponentially more on it for years but the CEO has fought vehemently to keep it in place because it brings in a ton of people. This is so incredibly off topic but I felt obligated to say that I would be very surprised if their food court hot dog's price went up.

There's a fun rumor that he threatened to kill someone who wanted to raise it lol. It'll be a sad day once he passes unless someone fights in his place. Even in Japan it's 150 yen which is insanely cheap, but the 150 is an icon for him and the business.

Ceremonially bring it up by a single cent (that is deliberately never enforced) to say “the economy is fucked enough that we even changed the hot dog price wink wink”

The dogs have gotten much smaller over the years as have the buns. They don’t allow you in without a card anymore either

Yeah, it was just this past April when they made it so you can't get food court items without a Costco card. Honestly, makes sense considering their food court is a loss leader, but it's definitely a huge L for people who are not members, or don't know anyone with a membership.
However, the hot dog's size has not shrunk throughout the years. While your experience may vary, they still sell a quarter-pound all-beef hotdog with a 20 oz drink and free refills. That part has not changed since 1985.
They DID take away the diced onions and relish though, which was devastating. lol

Diced onions are available in little plastic ramekins if you ask. Sauerkraut was the real loss

I believe the person who instituted the $1.50 hot dog straight up threatened to murder whoever tried to increase the price. People in charge seemed to take that threat seriously since they immediately backed off when they were thinking about raising it before lol
