Think the CEO of Costco did a similar move with the hot dogs
“I came to [Sinegal] once and I said, ‘Jim, we can’t sell this hot dog for a buck fifty. We are losing our rear ends,’” Jelinek recalled in a 2018 interview with 425 Business. “And he said, ‘If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.’”

Out of curiosity, how is it legal for Sinegal to say that to Jelinek? Or it isn't but no one cares to press charges?
I'm sure the guy can tell the difference between a genuine threat and a hyperbole.
Not all jurisdictions consider that kind of phrase illegal without an apparent attempt to carry it out.
Prob same reason you can say “choke me daddy” ‘OK’ in bed
