Costco is cutting one of customers' favorite options from the menu in many of its food courts.

The retailer is taking the Polish hot dog off the menu to make way for new items, The Seattle Times reported. Locations will be deeply discounting the Polish dog so they can add healthier options such as acai fruit bowls and organic burgers.

Costco is known for its inexpensive but surprisingly tasty food court. However, when the retailer makes adjustments to the menu, there is bound to be backlash.

Many customers are not pleased that the Polish hot dog — a variation on Costco's wildly popular classic hot dog, which will remain on the menu — will no longer be available.

Full headline: Costco is slashing one of customers' favorite items from its food-court menu, and people are furious

Comment: That's it. I don't care about anything else Costco has done, that's the last straw. No more Polish, no more Costco for me!!! Time to go to BJ's.

Just stupid. You aren’t in business to promote healthy eating in your food court. You sell what customers want to buy! Good luck with this...

i don’t eat polish dogs but a whole LOT of people DO love them!

this gonna cause an UPROAR!

you’d think Costco could handle one more inventory item, wouldn’t ya, without cutting out one of its customers’ favorites?

I’ll stick with Sam’s, thank you. Costco was already too Metrosexual even before this stunt.

I could only get the polish in Orange County, CA. We’ve since lived in Pittsburgh, Iowa and now south of Houston. No polish to be found, and I can’t stand the gigantic hot dogs.

I hate going to Costco during free sample feeding times. Families with twelve to fifteen children all lined up to get a little paper cup of whatever they're pushing. They block the aisles swarming like meat bees around a garbage can left out in the sun for too many hours. And do they ever buy anything? No! Just move on to the next station.

Daddy I don't like sardine flavored hummus with red pepper!. Shut up and enjoy your lunch.

They ended the Polish hot dog at my local Costco a long time ago, still had the regular beef hot dogs though, and still $1.50 for a Hot Dog and a soda.

I don’t think this write has ever been to a Costco. I never knew that the hot dog was a variant of the polish dog? But if the polish dog was one of the most popular items on the menu it would not be replaced.

“I hate going to Costco during free sample feeding times.”

We refer to Costco as a suburban tapas bar.

Here’s a crazy idea. Let the customer decide what he wants to eat.
