I forget which thread the MW conversation was happening (probably all of them, to be honest), but I was reminded of this article on Twitter today, and it seemed tangentially relevant (inflation).

I love this quote:

Quote: When Costco president W. Craig Jelinek once complained to Costco co-founder and former CEO Jim Sinegal that their monolithic warehouse business was losing money on their famously cheap $1.50 hot dog and soda package, Sinegal listened, nodded, and then did his best to make his take on the situation perfectly clear.

"If you raise [the price of] the effing hot dog, I will kill you," Sinegal said. "Figure it out."

edit: found out why this popped up on Twitter when I googled Jelinek. He just made an announcement at a US Senate Budget Committee about Costco raising its minimum wage to $16. Fun quote form him (that was from that announcement):

"In my past experience, wages usually don’t put people out of business, how you run your business will put you out of business"
