Costco is beloved for many reasons, not least a particularly stellar food-court deal: a hot dog and soda for $1.50. When a reporter asked the company’s former C.E.O. what it would mean if the price were raised, he replied, “That I’m dead.”
Can the Golden Age of Costco Last?
With its standout deals and generous employment practices, the warehouse chain became a feel-good American institution. In a fraught time, it can be hard to remain beloved.

“Exposure is not something that ICE wants,” a Los Angeles City Council member said. “When you are engaged in a systematic, unconstitutional activity where you’re trying to grab as many people in your net as possible, you do not want cameras.”
