I hope that Costco continues to sell its $4.99 rotisserie chicken at loss of untold millions USD a year, I couldn't make it as good at 3x the price. I guess they make it up in volume :) Some things are still ok, but we are heading towards Soylent it seems.

They make it up by making you walk through the store to get to them

That's true, but it's as if the crow flies straight to the back as opposed to figuring out where they decided to put Rx bars this week. It takes me longer to park then walk in/out of the store. Half for me, half for the pooch, the carcass for the broth.

Its always funny to me at the costco when they have their deli with the whatever 6.99 rotating turkey sandwich creation they are offering, standing along side the $1.50 hotdog. No one in that line is buying the damn $7 sandwich. I don't think I've seen that item ever sold, and I do frequent the costo food court for that hotdog with some regularity.
