Only because it’s a loss leader. You know, to help the customers spend more and make the company more profits. That’s a different kettle of fish.

Go get a hotdog come home with a 75" TV. All retailers have loss leaders. I'm a customer, Their prices are generally good. Their store brand is generally excellent. The return policy good, they are fair to good to their employees. I like it

Then there's me. No membership. Just go inside for the great pizza and hotdog deals.

Jk on them, my most regular receipt is just that hotdog. Walk right through the registers, eat food, leave with nothing else.

It’s a damn good hot dog at an absurd price - on the scale of processed meats, let’s be real.
