Indeed.

I buy 2 hot dogs for $1 at Sheetz sometimes. For that price, I get them with mustard, onions, and sauerkraut already on them.

They are not excellent in any way. I will probably never love them. :)

But they're available 24/7/365 and they don't take long for the staff to throw together.

And most importantly: They sure are cheap.

(Costco's $1.50 dog+Coke is much higher quality and presents a better value, but it requires visiting a Costco and that has its own cost.)
