I can't recall the exact wording, but you once posted that if you were running Costco, the first thing you'd do is get rid of the existing hot dog deal. That was just from a pure business/economics standpoint?

There is a belief in the retail industry in "loss leaders." Get customers through the door to buy something that is a screaming good deal and then they might look around and purchase some other items while there.
