This market resolves to YES if I can find a Costco in the US where the hot dog costs more than $1.50 by the resolution date.

It resolves to NO if I can find no such evidence.

It resolves to N/A if Costco no longer exists, or is no longer selling hot dogs.

Does this count the 0.25 cent paper cup charge levied by the city of Santa Cruz at the Santa Cruz Costco location?

Quote from Costco CEO Craig Jelinek, recounting a conversation with Costco's co-founder Jim Sinegal:

“I came to (Jim Sinegal) once and I said, ‘Jim, we can’t sell this hot dog for a buck fifty. We are losing our rear ends.’ And he said, ‘If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.’

Emphasis mine. Yes, it's true.
