Originally called a "Willy Dog"? Getting kinda personal, isn't it?

Mrs. U and I used to go to Sam's Club. Then, she decided that it wasn't worth me paying for it anymore. So, we haven't been in 5 years. I've toyed with paying for it out of my personal account but it's not worth the hassle. I have friends that have offered to take me to Costco, just never gone. I assume it's like Sam's?

I use Costco but with this mask nazi thing going on i don't go so it is unlikely i'm going to renew.
Besides...their produce sucks. Oh yes. it's beautifully packaged and it looks scrumptious...but it has no taste and it perishes quickly.
I'm guessing that it's different now in some respects, what with social distancing restrictions, but back in the day it was kind of a zoo. Lots of people with varying degrees of skill in pushing a shopping card around, walking while thinking, etc. I'm not sure what the wife buys there exactly, because her grocery shopping runs include Costco, Safeway and Target, but I'm guessing the big bags of dry dogfood come from there and a few other things. If it wasn't for better prices, I'm certain she wouldn't go. Personally I'd rather go to just one store and buy everything and consider any money not saved a convenience charge, but that's just me.

A guy goes into a luncheonette and orders a hamburger and a hot dog. A few minutes later, the waitress puts a plate in front of him with an open bun on it, pulls a hamburger out of her armpit, and tosses it on the bun.
The guy says, What the hell was that all about?
She says, I was just keeping it warm for you.
He says, Cancel my hot dog.

Just a couple of days after this thread ended, the wife made an unscheduled trip to Costco and I asked her to pick up some of their packaged hot dogs. She came back with three connected packages of a dozen hot dogs in each package and said, "These had better be good".
And are they ever! We each had a couple that night - being from Arizona she grills hers and being a good MidWestern kid I boil them - and we agree they are very good. I just finished a couple, in fact. The wife has always favored Nathan's and Hebrew National - both of which just taste funny to me - and I've always eaten Oscar Meyer or Kahn's (when I could find them), but I believe that we have been converted to the Costco brand going forward.

Okay. I do not have a Costco nearby. I never had one of their hot dogs.
You know what I got out of all that? 2% human DNA in non-Costco hot dogs.
Does anyone ever check Oscar Meyer and the other hot dog makers for signs of missing employees?
Do they show abnormally low pensions costs?
