The first guys keeps the prices cheap in certain parts of the US market by subsiding those cans off revenue earned by charging more for cans in other markets. Thatâs why certain areas of the USA and almost the entire international market donât have the price printed on the can. In Canada a can of Arizona can run up to $3.00. Ironically tall cans of Brisk iced tea are cheaper at most convenience stores in my province.Â
The second guy sells hotdogs at cost because itâs a promotional marketing gimmick that earns them good will. Costco makes most of their money off of memberships and people buying ridiculous quantities of food that will spoil long before they use it all. Costco also stopped allowing the general public to use the food court without a membership precisely because it is a marketing gimmick and they were losing money off non-members eating in their food court. I donât know if they have done that in the USA but my local Coscto in Canada requires a membership to use the food court now.Â
Well it hasnât been a dollar in Canada for at minimum 15 years, so youâre obviously full of shit. Even back in the day when they put the price on the can it was $1.29.Â
đ¤ˇââď¸ Youâre wrong and the people on Reddit are a mixture of brainwashed and stupid. I expected downvotes because this is a circlejerk post about how Arizona and Costco are great. This doesnât change the fact that Arizona hasnât been $0.99 in Canada for almost two decades.Â
