Ok, I see. But organic burgers are definitely not vegan! I donāt have a problem with them offering some vegan options as long as they continue to offer a great butchery, nice variety of cheeses, unbelievable value on roast chicken, Kerrygold etc.; I havenāt noticed any trend away from conventional offerings except for the extinction of the polish hotdog. (Sorry if this sounds snobbish but I canāt imagine a less enticing lunch venue than sitting on a metal picnic bench in a florescent-lit warehouse bombarded by a stream of exiting Costco customers, so the options on their lunch menu arenāt a huge issue for me.)

I understand the disappointment in losing a healthier item to vegan crap. But they are just responding to the market hype. Vegan crap, stupid āsuperfoodā berries, etcā¦ are what all the trendy soccer moms want.
So, the OP venting disappointment at that is one thing, but what about all the bashing? Seems to me like itās part of the silly āgrass fed ketoā fringe.
You want to buy beef from your local farmer, great. Good for you. Iām glad you are happy making that choice between your perception of quality and your pocketbook. I myself do, buy 90% of my beef from a local farmer, grass fed, and have it butchered. But when I decide to buy some meat at Costco, Iām not somehow a lesser human, nor am I doing keto wrong, for doing so.
Thankfully Iām happy for places like costco that can make feeding my family of 4 a lot healthier cost effective. 1/2 gallon cartons of heavy cream are only slightly more expensive than 1 qt at my local supermarket. I can get big bags of brussel sprouts at a very good price. Bacon and butter is usually an excellent price. All these things that Iād go broke over if I had to shop at my local supermarket.
Anyway, theyāre a company that like everyone else, is trying to make money in the best way they perceive possible. As such they are going to respond to market trends. Believe it or not, this is the motivator, not some evil plan to kill people with vegan food or omega 6 fatty acids. Peopleās virtue signalling over their perceived level of āevilnessā because they sell convenience foods along side bacon and their beef isnāt following the grass fed silliness is down right ridiculous.
āacaiā is like years agoā¦

Iāve only gotten the chicken ceasar twice (pre-keto) and it was delicious and moist. Cold chicken breast is only going to be so good.

At mine you can enter the food court without going into the store. I think thatās what she meant. If you ran by for lunch, you donāt have to go āinsideā the store. Veer left at the door and youāre at the food court.

Last time I checked, everyone wipes their butt. Toilet paper alone at Costco makes the membership worth it.

When we were exiting at Costco today, I overheard a convo of a customer with the counter person. āWhy canāt you have the Polish off menu, we miss it and all our friends do too. No one wants to eat a berry you canāt pronounce correctly!ā Response was āIām with you Dude, but management wants those bowl things, I havenāt served even one since the menu changed.ā
I just laughed and shook my head as we left the building.

The menu is a corporate decision. Saying āmanagementā makes it sound like itās something the GM of the store can have say in. This is not the case.

Costco food courts in Canada are keeping the Polish sausage. Yay!
I did a lot of research before buying a membership because I was single at the time. Lots of people said it was worthwhile only if you had a big family, lots of storage space, etc. Finally I decided to try it and paid the $60 annual membership. Thatās $5 a month. Heck, you can save $5 on one grocery item.
Now I shop for two people at Costco just once a month. We have no storage problem, even in a small place with two bar fridges and a 3.5 cu ft freezer.
Iād recommend Costco to anyone. Unless they got rid of the Polish sausage. Thatās the highlight of the trip!
