      Close. The founder told the CEO if he raised the price on the hotdog “I will fucking kill you”.

      So, who really gets the credit here is up to you.

      The person who threatened to kill the CEO if the CEO fucked his customers, or the CEO who didn’t fuck his customers out of self-preservation?

        They also bought 2 hotdog factories to minimize the loss.

        Costco does pay decent as well.

        Could they do better? Yes, but they are pretty decent for employees and consumers.

          Oh come on, don’t be naïve. They bought two factories so they could switch from “hot dogs” to “mechanically-recovered animal-based byproducts” let’s be realistic
