For the uninitiated: Costco has maintained the price for a Hot Dog and Soda combo at $1.50 USD since it was introduced in 1984. When the old founder and CEO stepped down and the new CEO took over, he questioned the old CEO about raising the price since they were losing money on it. He was told, "If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out."
It's cause he knew that, even if some people only came in for a hotdog and soda, enough will come there for lunch and then go shopping and spend $100 more than they intended to spend.
Costco Japan actually makes you feel like you are in America, they have so much variety that appeal to the Asian palette. Some things though, are even more expensive than us after currency rate like Beef Jerky.
@nunyabusiness3786Naah Japanese Costco is pretty different. As a mid-level Costco enthusiast, going to Costco was one of the highlights of my trip. Their prepared food section has more seafood and the bakery section is huge.
@nunyabusiness3786 I get that. On the other hand, I like the thought that I could be in Japan, not knowing what’s going on, see a Costco, reach for my card and think, ‘I got this.”
@@holow3038 I'm a 300lbs French dude, and I was surprised by the Hot Dogs size when I went to Costco when they opened here. American size is big compared to basically anything else.
I'm aware of Costco here in the US but I never realized how much of it sounds the same even in Japan lol. It definitely sounds like Luna was having a cultural shock just by exploring a Costco.
I'm so used to hearing Americans talk about how crazy and blown away they are by Japanese stuff, it's oddly nice to hear a Japanese person talk about it the other way around.
Don't get Luna wrong in this situation. As an American, even I'm fascinated with Costco, it says alot that their rival, Sam's Club, can't even hold a candle against them. I was also hobo for 4 years and my Costco membership actually helped me out on my first year since it allowed me to subsist on free samples, although that bit probably isn't new to Luna since they do that alot in supermarkets in Japan.

It is fine to go to Costco for no reason other than to "window shop" You think you've seen it all until you walk into Costco and you see they are selling a pallet of car batteries.
Where I live, all the asian moms and grandmas love shopping at Costco. I once saw a little old lady who couldn't have been more than five feet tall just deadlift a 30lb bag of rice over her shoulder and carried it to the front checkout
Costco is an interesting experience when you're not used to it. Since they focus on bulk goods, you can get many things in larger quantity than you typically see in stores like Walmart. It's quite an experience if you're not used to it.
@@Vyz3r It's a wholesaler, that's part of the reason. Typically wholesale places will only work with retailers, so it's a chain of factory -> wholesale -> retail. Costco cuts out the retail side by just opening up their warehouse as if it was a storefront, and pass the savings onto their customers, but in exchange they tend to sell stuff in bulk, like any wholesaler. They primarily make money from membership fees, and they lose money on the hotdogs and chicken (they're loss leaders).
I've been there once, if you go rural areas of Hokkaido or Tohoku you can also find some superstore that sells chainsaws and tractors since those areas are agricultural concentrated
I know exactly what she means about her picture. I also got a picture like that taken for a card once (monthly bus ticket type of thing): It was black and white, super dark, horrible quality like from an age old webcam, which I think is exactly what they took it with. But apparently good enough to put on the card to ID myself with ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
About four years ago when I was still living in Montreal, I went to Costco to usually buy some chocolate, some bags of chips and just to eat hotdogs or fried chicken haha
"Unless you sit there forever and drink constantly, you won't need a refill, right?" Oh you sweet summer child, you have no idea how much Americans drink in the span of eating a hotdog.
Awww, Luna-tan's first-time shopping experience at Costco is so cute! haha. I can picture Luna riding her Harley-Davidson with a huge box of chocolate on the back seat, LOL!😄
Fun Fact of Japanese Costco : If you purchase what they consider off the shelf medications there you pay for it at the pharmacy section. You don't bring it to the regular checkout. I learned that the hard way. They basically wrap it up like they do tax-fee items then you go to the regular checkout for your other stuff. Also they don't really have the sort of 500 tablets of Tylenol kind of thing. They really at best will give you 2 normal sized medication packages at a slightly reduced price. I assume this is due to how drugs are regulated in Japan even for what they consider over the counter stuff. Its basically a mix of 50% Kirkland stuff and 50% local Japanese stuff. But the entire place is functionally indistinguishable from a Costco in the USA , the entire layout, labels, etc all have the 'Costco feel' to it, which obviously makes sense. If you're in Japan for fun its not really worth going there unless you happen to be in maybe Hiroshima as the Costco is a quick 10 minute bus trip from the Hiroshima train station. But otherwise most Costco's in Japan are either only accessable by car or are extremely far way from the city centers.
Costco stores are designed in a horsehoe layout. The most expensive tech items are in the front on the way to the big rotisserie with the chickens, then the less expensive food, apparell, and miscellaneous items are on the way to the food court that look like a bargain by comparison. Free sample stations specifically hand out new shipments, encouraging shoppers to buy those and constantly keep sales up and new items coming in. They can afford to hand out these samples and have these relatively low prices because the required memberships means they make a profit no matter what.
huh, they have costco in japan? I had no idea. that's so cute that she had culture shock from the place, lmao, welcome to a taste of american bulk warehouse shopping haha
She's not even exaggerating, sometimes I think Costco is actually a cover for a secret race of giants or something. The only reason I can shop there is because I have a deep freezer to keep everything in so it doesn't go bad before I get a chance to eat it lol.
Its artificially gigantified chicken. I remember seeing video explaining one where it was forced to grew so large the muscle start to shredded itself as it cannot sustain the artificial growth. Resulting some part of muscle looks like tapeworm
@@raineheartily4580 The idea that in order to match the increased scale of all the other goods in their stores they purposefully employed a process to grow ridiculously oversized chickens is... Something, for sure
The best thing about refill cups is refilling the cup and taking it home or drinking it on your way home. You're not sitting in the Costco food court forever.
Back in the mid 80s when my family first started going to costco, it was kinda a weird animal; everything was bulk, it was all set up for biasness purchases. My mother was homeschooling us at the time and the org she was working with for the lesson plans got her a costco membership... It was just surreal as a little kid going in there and seeing a bag of sugar that was 60lbs, or like a 20 gallon thing of bleach.
Now that Luna has a membership, she can take all her Luknights to experience the food court :) But, more seriously, she should probably organize a trip with some other Holomems to divvy up some of the things she wanted to try into more manageable amounts
My parents live in the middle of nowhere. They have a Costco membership and stock up for like a month's worth of groceries. Like, it's a whole trip since it takes close to an hour by highway to get to the nearest one. It's really great for shelf-stable or canned stuff since it'll last a while. The fresh produce and meats are good too, it's just most people aren't buying that in bulk in one go. At least not that I've noticed unless the people in question have a large family.
Her talking about the party/family sized cakes at Costco and how big they are, and wondering if anyone has eaten the whole thing themselves is kind of eyeroll inducing. It's not meant for a single person (at least in a single sitting). But the chat comment "I eat it every time while regretting my actions" was hilarious. And she's totally right about going there on weekends, something I avoid if I can help it.

Cosco straightup their own warehouse, lol. Luna being real relatable here, though in the cutest pure way. I have and still am a bit scared those towering metal structures holding all the wooden pallets will fall over one day.
The trick is to go with a couple of friends, and then you split everything up between yourselves and they give you some money for said items. That way, everyone gets some, and you all save money in the long run.
When she said she went into Costco to just buy one specific item, I was wondering if they didn't charge for membership in Japan, but she says she paid for the annual membership. Maybe Japanese Costco charges less for membership than American Costco does, but I can't see paying $60 just to buy one thing and visit the food court. That'd be like paying for entry to a mall. I guess the Princess of the Candy Kingdom values Tirol Chocolate that much. I'm glad she had fun, though. The way she describes her experience, it sounds more like she was paying the entry fee for an amusement park rather than she was paying membership fee to a retail store.
Costco annual membership in Japan is like 15-20% cheaper than the cost of membership in the US I think? At least for Japanese nationals it is. I could be wrong, that’s what I remember from like two years back looking up membership prices around the world. I wonder how much Costco membership in South Sudan would cost?

The next day after this stream, she was scouted by Costco to be their brand ambassador.
1 second in and the way she pronounced the name of the store was adorable, how will I make it to the end of the video
"Has anyone here eaten the whole thing?"
The average american:
Damn, she really is a princess
Cosco straightup their own warehouse, lol.
Luna being real relatable here, though in the cutest pure way.
I have and still am a bit scared those towering metal structures holding all the wooden pallets will fall over one day.
I want to see her reaction when she lears you don't need a card to get in the food court
Luna Costco Collab. Yagoo truly a visionary
6:50 😂 i wonder how many people signed up for a costco membership because of Luna. Hell im considering it 😂
The trick is to go with a couple of friends, and then you split everything up between yourselves and they give you some money for said items. That way, everyone gets some, and you all save money in the long run.
Went to a church in Japan a few times where one of Costco's head executive owners was a member. Guy went all over the world.
When she said she went into Costco to just buy one specific item, I was wondering if they didn't charge for membership in Japan, but she says she paid for the annual membership. Maybe Japanese Costco charges less for membership than American Costco does, but I can't see paying $60 just to buy one thing and visit the food court. That'd be like paying for entry to a mall. I guess the Princess of the Candy Kingdom values Tirol Chocolate that much.
I'm glad she had fun, though. The way she describes her experience, it sounds more like she was paying the entry fee for an amusement park rather than she was paying membership fee to a retail store.
Costco annual membership in Japan is like 15-20% cheaper than the cost of membership in the US I think? At least for Japanese nationals it is. I could be wrong, that’s what I remember from like two years back looking up membership prices around the world.
I wonder how much Costco membership in South Sudan would cost?
I went to a Costco recently, and I was making people laugh at my Idiocracy jokes. I love you.
Costco always feels like another dimension, even compared to other bulk stores. Its kinda wild.
Me who eats the entire chicken in one meal… 😂😂😂 I love Costco’s hotdog combo
It’s cute how she thinks the American medium is XL and that people would struggle to drink it all for refills 😂😂😂😂
Pro tip: just get a gift card for gas and use it to allow entry into Costco if you just wanna go to their food court
Best part of Costco aside from the great seasonal stuff that rotates in, is the free samples
ok now costco only need to do an collab with the princess
Wait until she finds out they have gaming and streaming equipment.
Costco is a business reminder that i am single.
Calli: It's rude to call Kiara a costco chicken, Luna.
Japanese vtuber discovers the horrors of America portion sizes in an America mega-grocery chain.
oh wow, didn't know Costco was in Japan too.
They're really everywhere
Luna got that dawg in her 🌭🥤
