"Fucking" instead of "effing" in the real quote

Literally 1984

[–] [email protected] 30 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Well technically, if it hasn't changed since 1984 it has also not changed since 1985

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Ok, but has it changed since 1986?

:P

Costco loses a good amount of money on the food. The CEO has principles.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 9 months ago (2 children)

The food court and samples is a loss leader, also it anchors people to the perception that Costco is cheap.

They loose money on the hotdog, but gain money on the foot traffic. It’s good for business at the end of the day.

No, no, you misunderstand, see: they spend all their lose change and while that causes them to loose money on the food, they gain in the long run.

Ahhh. This is what an aneurysm feels like.

Another is the rotisserie chicken which they put in the back of the store.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

True dat. I always wondered why they don’t put the hotdogs in the back to lure people in - like IKEA.

It will be a sad day when they pass. The next in line almost never carries the same principles, they need to "prove themselves" and ruin so much for the customer in the name of profit :(

They did get rid of the Polish option, which is too bad cause that was delicious.

The sausage is the operator? Not the bun?

Changing to Pepsi wasn't worth no raising the price. Make it $2 with a coke.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm sure RC Cola would love the business

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

I'll take the crab juice.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

They're both just awful

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Wasn't?

Are you saying they raised it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Theres a no before raising...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That's how that parses? God damn.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It makes more sense if you change the 'no' to a 'not', at least for me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It sounds better if I read it in a heavy bayou accent

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

personally i prefer a scottish accent so thick you can headbutt it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Scrummy turn of phrase, that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They changed from Coke to Pepsi outside of Atlanta and did not raise the price. I'm saying it wasn't worth the change from Coke to Pepsi and would rather have a $2 hot dog and soda then a dollar fifty hot dog and toxic waste.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I did not know that. Haven't been to a Costco in a few years.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

I feel like the quality will suffer if the price stays the same forever. Maybe not yet, but some day.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

I miss the polish dogs so much :(
