In what could be a stunning chain of events (if it were true), one man has started an unsubstantiated rumor that Costco, home of some of the cheapest yet most delicious food court deals , will soon offer free delivery for its famous $1.50 hot dog meal via a partnership with DoorDash. Costco announces free delivery of $1.

In this brutal economy of shrinkflation and higher prices, it's easy to want to believe. But honestly, when was the last time any business ever gave you something this valuable? First things first.
There's simply no conceivable way either Costco or DoorDash could make money from this offer. It's already difficult to believe Costco would balk at inflation and refuse to raise its hot dog combo price . As one commenter on the TikTok video blithely put it, "Service fee will probably be $17.
99." Why we don't believe this rumor Perhaps this could be a limited-time offer wrapped up in a more extensive offer. Say, free delivery on five hot dog combos or more.
This might be wise if Costco and/or DoorDash were struggling for customers and looking to grow their res.
