This was in upliftingnews but imo, they've been overcharging for years and now they're framing this as a feel good story (slrpnk.net)

Word is that the nachos are stale, and come with pickles and cold cheese.

Damn, imagine if you went to every game

If I was a fan I'd be sat wondering why they'd been happily talking a 75+% profit margin from me after I'd already bought a ticket to be there.

If they could just not, when they feel like it

How much does a bulk purchase cheap-ass hotdog cost. Nothing. It's cents.

I'm sure they are still making 75% markup, even on the new 2 dollar.price. before, it was several hundred percent markup.

Yes and no. Costco hot dogs are 100% vertically integrated and they get the soda basically for free from Pepsi and they still barely break even on them, if they even do anymore. You add in a farm, packer, and a distributor taking their percent and even a lower quality dog is going to be pretty lean on profit at 2USD in 2024

How is selling garbage for cheap supposed to be uplifting?
