Many people commented on a Reddit post with over 550 comments about that sandwich, saying that $9.99 is outrageously expensive when compared to lesser food court options like the $1.50 hotdog combo and $9.95 pizzas.

Customers have been critical of other Costco food court offerings this year. Mango smoothies in food courts around the United States were ridiculed by customers earlier this summer.
