Close. The founder told the CEO if he raised the price on the hotdog “I will fucking kill you”.

So, who really gets the credit here is up to you.

The person who threatened to kill the CEO if the CEO fucked his customers, or the CEO who didn’t fuck his customers out of self-preservation?

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.

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.

We’re you under the impression any hot dogs were ever anything other than mechanically-recovered animal-based byproducts?

They bought the same hotdog factories that they were already buying hotdogs from. It was literally a one-to-one transition.

well to be fair, I’m not buying a hotdog for 1 USD and expect premium meat in that thing.

What if the killer was the Costco founder? He told the United Healthcare CEO the same thing and then followed through.

So what your saying is, Costco’s founder and the shooter have a similar energy?
