Quote from Costco CEO Craig Jelinek, recounting a conversation with Costco's co-founder Jim Sinegal:
“I came to (Jim Sinegal) 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.’
Emphasis mine. Yes, it's true.
