    For me, time, effort, and of course the $10. I’m disabled so take a standard costco run, make it take 4x as long and physically difficult. Add taking a gamble on dinner as I leave and it’s a make-or-break decision.

    I’ll have to give it a go the next time I’m there. I’ve had their ice cream and it’s very good, but that’s not a meal :p

      if you’re worried about it, just buy a slice.

      they’re weird so they slice it into 6 but that makes it a huuuge slice. well well well worth the $2 imo, it’s certainly a loss leader for them (meaning the cost for them to make it is more than they charge you for it)

      legitimately the best pizza I had in the years I spent living in Georgia.

          yes this is true. I think the soda is probably a profit but less than standard restaurant markups and nowhere near enough to cover the cost of running the food court (making it functionally also a loss)

          also I’d imagine the chicken bake is upcycling the rotisserie chickens into less loss than if they were sold as rotisserie (and certainly more than if they threw them out)

          also I’ve said loss too many times to not also say :.|:;
