![Costco keeps its rotisserie chicken and hot dogs cheap because they are loss leaders. In other words, people come for the meat and stay for the flat-screen TVs. Chicken is one of those items placed strategically toward the back of the store so customers can be entranced by other offerings as they walk by.

For Costco, "traffic and long-term loyalty trump reactive price hikes," according to <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-03-06/costco-profit-hurt-by-popular-low-margin-chicken-kale-sales-grow#r=nav-f-story">Bloomberg</a>.]({"default":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BBuPhzV.img?h=516&w=624&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&f=jpg","size1rowsize2column":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BBuPhzV.img?h=340&w=624&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&f=jpg","size1rowsize3column":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BBuPhzV.img?h=340&w=624&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&f=jpg","size1rowsize4column":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BBuPhzV.img?h=340&w=624&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&f=jpg"} "Costco keeps its rotisserie chicken and hot dogs cheap because they are loss leaders.

![Last but not least, as much as it sounds like science fiction (or a campy spy movie), a pill that erases near-term memories may be within reach in the foreseeable future. It wasn’t what Cornelius Gross of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory was looking for when he had the “aha” moment. But, he found that in his mice test subjects, weakening a synapse linked to a specific memory makes it difficult to recall that memory.
