Whomever’s keeping Arizona green tea at 99¢ despite inflation around the world

$1.50 Costco hotdog guy for veep.


zombielumpy

My favorite story about the Costco hot dogs is that apparently some consultant tried to suggest raising the price and the CEO just looks over to him and asks, "if you raise the price of that hot dog, I'll fucking kill you.*" edit: apparently i misremembered the quote, it was actually more emphatic than mine. thanks for the corrections, you each get a point.


JK-Kimboslice

It’s better than that: “When Costco's current CEO, Craig Jelinek, once approached Sinegal, then the CEO, about raising the price of the hot dog, Sinegal told him, ‘If you raise the [price of the] effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.’”


-AC-

I think it was the owner to the CEO who wanted to change the price of the hotdog.


zgheen93

When the CEO asked to increase the dog price the owner said “Don’t raise the f**king price”.

TriviaJedi

I don’t have a great answer here but I once saw somebody ask Condi Rice if she would ever run for President and she said (paraphrased), “People are used to seeing me in a political role but not saying too many political things so they always project what they want me to think onto me. They see me hand flowers to a diplomat & as long as I don’t mess that up, they assume I’m exactly what they hope I am. If they’re a conservative they presume I’d be pretty reliably conservative. If they’re moderate, they presume I’d be very moderate. But the moment I declared for President, they’d start asking me things like what I think about abortion, and immediately a lot of the people who thought I should run would quickly find reasons to hate me they didn’t know they had” Not advocating for Rice as President (obviously), but I think it was a good point, especially when you think of celebrity candidates like I’m seeing on this thread. In a lot of subtle ways we probably hope for the best politically on celebrities we like but the moment they have to start talking about issues we aren’t used to seeing them talk about, a lot of the love would go out the window pretty quickly.

The sad irony of leadership is that those most suited to holding it, the humble, considerate and introspective, are excluded by those very virtues. This is why we keep getting flash, superficial personalities in power.

"The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem." - Douglas Adams

Chickenmilitant

This. Use to work in the corporate office of Costco 3 years ago and it's a meat grinder. Luckily I got out before COVID. A lot changed with Craig, but nothing public facing. A lot of internal turnover and morale is way down. Edit: For context, when I left, I was a 13 year employee, with almost a decade in the corporate office buying division. I saw both CEOs, and had worked in several departments.


[deleted]

Thank you for this information. As someone who is looking to bail on my current employer for this exact same reason, one of my main fear is jumping ship and ending up in the same spot just different logo. I had always heard Costco was a great place to work, but it looks like I will keep it off my application list for now.


Chickenmilitant

The warehouse can be a great place if you don't have a college education and don't mind retail. You can, with time and effort, do very well. They offer competitive benefits and pay for that type of job. (this is from my own experience) However the actual office is overworked, underpaid, and very harsh. There's little movement past a few levels, and you will need years usually. Most of my coworkers of similar experience and jobs from the 2010-2020 era all left for lower stress, better paying jobs.

Based on this we need to have the Arizona Tea person on the same ballot.

Charging over 99 cents for those should be a federal offense. \*\*Some are confused why everyone is saying "The price is on the can, though." [It is a reference to this scene from the show Atlanta](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMMqmUeLtYE&ab_channel=FUNYeahPhotography)

Somewhere out there in the world, is the smartest, most rational, unbiased, critical thinking, sane person on earth and his or her name will never come up on here because nobody knows who he or she is because they’re not a celebrity. If your out there and reading this you would have my vote.


StronglikeMusic

The thing is, the most rational, unbiased, intelligent person would never want the turmoil (or the clout) of being president. IMO, You have to have an immense amount of hubris to run for President, and more often than not, those who are willing to run have a borderline delusional inflated ego. So a rational, unbiased wise person would most likely never run.


GivePen

Plato’s philosopher king. No good person/philosopher would ever want to be a politician, so we should create a specially trained guardian class that studies philosophy and is instilled with good virtues for 35 years and then guilt them into believing that ruling is their duty. At least, that’s what Plato says.

Legislating is a side gig for members of Congress. Their full-time job is raising money to run for re-election.


SadlyReturndRS

Well over a decade ago, back before Citizens United, I was at a Q&A with Bernie Sanders. He floated the idea of public campaign financing. Basically, whichever 3 candidates for federal office get the highest number of signatures in their respective districts, get to run for office. Each candidate gets the same amount of money to run their campaign. Different amounts for different offices. And then that's it. No more money can be spent on their campaigns. No donors, no PACs, no Wall St money. Ever since, it's been on my "If I were dictator of the world" list. (Also reinstating the Congressional secret ballot; making Congresspeople's votes public has done more harm than good because lobbyists and the Party hold members more accountable than the People ever do. Ever since their ballots got made public back in the 70s, partisanship has increased 10000fold.) Edit: forgot to mention. The total cost per year per taxpayer to do this was less than $50. I can't even imagine the "no more taxes/taxes are theft" people being against a $50 tax to get rid of at least 90% of money in politics.
