    1. Yes, it’s so socialist of them to keep the price of the hot dog and coke at $1.50 … and they even resorted to violence to keep it that way.

      Costco CEO Craig Jelinek: “I came to (Jim Sinegal, Costco founder) once and I said, ‘Jim, we can’t sell this hot dog for a buck fifty. We are losing our rear ends.’ And he said, ‘If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.”

      (They figured it out by building their own hot dog plants.)

    2. I bet Walmart, in right-leaning Arkansas, is delighted that Costco is suing because I’m pretty sure they don’t like paying tariffs, either.
