Volume. Its all relative to your less efficient competitor

Didn't Costco get volume by selling things cheaper then they could have?

They also have less items for sale so each sells more.

People with Costco memberships view shopping as a sport. Instead of golfing, they go buy shit and eat hot dogs.

Where both shopping and golf are about getting a low score ;)

They do have the best hot dogs.
