I bet they don’t run out of onions in the hotdog bar. #Costco

@bryan As a European I've got no idea what a Costco is and so I'm missing the joke... do you mind explaining it 😁
@graves501
Costco is in Europe but just starting, I guess. Basically, they are massive warehouses of household products, meat, food, etc. They have food courts which are localized to the country they are in except for the hotdog. It’s a huge hotdog and a soda for $1.50. That price is equivalent pretty much everywhere. The joke is basically that executive membership is the tier where you get 2% cashback (in the US anyway). This is making fun of the fact that a warehouse would have something nice when the reality is just them keeping the onions in stock at the Costco food court would be nice… 😊
“There are 29 Costcos in the United Kingdom, five in Spain, and only two in France. Countries with just one lone Costco location include Sweden, Iceland, and New Zealand. Despite that, Australia has 15 warehouses.”

@bryan I mean I can relate to the hot dog + onion situation - it's very similar to the IKEA food courts 😂Also interesting that France and Spain would've a Costco, but none of the German speaking countries 🤔
