They also bought 2 hotdog factories to minimize the loss.

Costco does pay decent as well.

Could they do better? Yes, but they are pretty decent for employees and consumers.

    Oh come on, don't be naïve. They bought two factories so they could switch from "hot dogs" to "mechanically-recovered animal-based byproducts" let's be realistic

    Aw man I thought they were still free range prairie dog peckers. Oh wait, they've always been cheap sausages.

    You wouldn't legally be allowed to call them sausage in the EU 😂

    What do you think a sausage is? They have always been animals scraps ground up and put into animal intestines. That's why people have been saying "you don't want to see the sausage being made" for 200 years.

    I've never heard anyone refer to a hotdog as a sausage in the states either and I even grew up poor

    Do you really expect hot dog sausages to be made from premium meat? They use the scraps that can't otherwise be used, same as chicken nuggets. This is a good thing. Those sausages and nuggets are perfectly fine to eat and we get to reduce waste.
