    Fwiw Costcos main profit is from membership sales…which they’ve been cracking down hard on right now!

    Making sure you have a membership before you can buy things. Shocking...

    They sell those at a loss to bring in customers to buy other higher margin items. What else is Spotify selling?

    To be fair (and understand I hate corporations and am speaking through clenched teeth), Costco loses money on those glizzies. They make the majority of their money on their memberships, and have made the bet that they gain more customers than they lose money on cheap hotdogs.
